I have a poster!!!

My upcoming exhibition opens at Salford Museum and Art Gallery on Saturday 16th December and everything is coming together! The lovely people at the museum have created a poster for me which I think looks rather lovely. And they have extended the exhibition - it now ends on Sunday 5th May 2024.

There will be a preview from 1pm to 3pm on Saturday 16th which you are all invited to! More details to follow but it would be lovely if you could join me. The Museum has other exhibitions including one from the residents of Islington Mill on its 200th anniversary, a rather lovely cafe and a shop.

I’m also going to do a ‘Meet The Artist’ session on Saturday 27th January 2024 and a Childrens Print Workshop on Sunday 25th February 2024. Again more details to follow.

In the perfect world I’d have all the art ready …. if only! The studio is a creative mess and I’m somewhat stressed. The exhibition is a combination of new and existing pieces. I’ve aimed to create four completely new pieces as well as substantially reworking one of the older pieces. Which doesn’t sound a lot. And it wouldn’t be a lot if I created small pieces …. the new pieces range in size from 120 x 120 cm to 400cm x 135cm so not small. And my process is quite time consuming. Which is a long winded way of saying that I’m working long, but very happy, hours! So if I’m a bit slow responding to emails please bear with me …
