It was a new one for me last night as I went with my Mam-in-Law to the opera. I’ve never been before and to be honest, being an ageing headbanger and rock chick, it would never have occurred to me to go except that Husb joined a choir recently and had the chance to performContinue reading “The Pit And The Uniform”

More En Plein Air
Sometimes life gets in the way of art and it can be difficult to do something creative every day. If I’m working on a commission or developing an exhibition, it’s easy because I’m at it all the time, but in the in-between times like the past week or two, I find it hard toContinue reading “More En Plein Air”
En Plein Air
Here I am a few months back sketching en plein air. The artwork is by Simon Dark. I had a fringe then, I think I might have one again.
Swansea Jack
Husb and I spent a lovely couple of hours at a performance of “Swansea Jack”, researched, written and performed by the talented storyteller Carl Gough. We people from Swansea are nicknamed “Jacks”, supposedly after the heroic black Labrador dog who saved many people from drowning in the 1930s. Of course, I had a quick scribble,Continue reading “Swansea Jack”
Quick Sketch
Here’s a quick sketch I did at an event the other night, a talk on women’s political action across Europe, one of the International Women’s Day events.
Ban The Bedroom Tax!
This is a monotype I made from an original drawing I did in my sketchbook at a demonstration against the “Bedroom Tax”, or Spare Room Subsidy, introduced by the government in 2012. It resulted in hardship for many people. It’s one of the artworks I’m exhibiting at Swansea’s Cinema & Co in a joint showContinue reading “Ban The Bedroom Tax!”
Tent City II
Here’s another monotype I did recently with chine collé from an original sketchbook drawing at London’s “Tent City” a few years ago, the Occupy London protest outside Saint Paul’s Cathedral. My sketchbooks are full of scribbles from life and I don’t often find a way of using them, but recently I’ve done a small seriesContinue reading “Tent City II”

The programmes showing over 50 commissioned artists across the UK are being aired during the week beginning March 25th and the film featuring me and my work is on Tuesday, March 26th atContinue reading “It’s Physical!”
Monotype With Chine Collé
Cinema & Co, Swansea, throughout March. Exhibition – The Revolting Women Present: The Personal Is Political. A bit of technical stuff today, here’s a monotype I did recently with chine collé from an original sketchbook drawing. I was in London a few years back and wandered over to “Tent City”, the Occupy London protest outsideContinue reading “Monotype With Chine Collé”
Proud Pads Against Period Poverty
Wow, what a fab evening at Cinema & Co last night, celebrating International Women’s Day in style, with art, films and lashings of home-made cake. Here’s the lovely Laura Niehorster, a Swansea designer and entrepreneur, talking about her amazing product “Proud Pads”. Laura is also a campaigner against period poverty.
