Belton House

We had lots of little adventures over the weekend, Belton House was one of them!

A hint of what's in store!

I am showing a hint of my new collection in Design Circus, West Bridgford, Nottingham

Staithes

We travelled north of the country to Staithes, we discovered a cluster of fisherman's ram shackled sheds on the beach of Port Mulgrave. Each little house was customised with findings from the beach. Colours were amazing; tobacco, blue slate, heather and dove grey..

The children loved the freedom of the beach, long walks, jumping waves, and gathering treasure in their buckets! We enjoyed the rest....

time for tea

Colour is bursting out all over our garden! It's the first spring that we have been here so everything that grows is a new discovery. We have planted potatoes, radishes and parsnips so far and there is room for much more.

I plan to tie my new print series together this week and start my new collection of paintings for Holmfirth Artweek, but first a cup of well loved Tea.......

Wake Up it's Spring!

London

I had a very inspirational trip to London!

I met with a writer at 'Patisserie Valerie on Old Compton Street to discuss illustrating a childrens book... very exciting, more pages will unfold later!

I gathered thoughts, ideas and sketches for my exciting new collection which I will be launching very soon. I will be selling my new product through selected galleries and in my shop online. watch this space..........
