Meet the Artist Live Demos!

As part of the Bucks Open Studios event, there were Meet the Artist and Demonstrations held at the Central Library during the MK Fanfare Exhibition.

On Thursday 28th May I demonstrated how I make my textile animal silhouettes. I then returned on Saturday 30th May to demonstrate the needle felting technique I use to make my latest collection of felt flowers.

It was lovely to meet fellow BOS artists and thank you to the visitors who came along to
MK Central Library and got involved.

Fanfare Exhibition Launch - with... a real fanfare!

Today I attended the official launch of the The Bucks Open Studios Fanfare Exhibition in Aylesbury, opened by the High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire, Francesca Skelton.

A superb display of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture and jewellery by over 130 artists and makers taking part in the Bucks Open Studios event this coming June.

A real trumpet fanfare and string quartet performed at the event.

 The exhibition continues until 4th July and is open 10am to 5pm Tuesday to Saturday. 

Hope you get the chance to see the work.

Bucks Open Studios Fanfare Exhibition - Submission Day

It's only one day until the deadline for the Fanfare Exhibition so I've been completing my submission and have posted it off in the nick of time!

Over the next couple of weeks I'll be working on my painting of 'Exotic Echo', a piece inspired by the colourful wild birds of Costa Rica. Once complete, the painting will be displayed at the Fanfare Exhibition at Buckinghamshire County Museum, Aylesbury from 23rd May until 4th July.
