I have a digital exhibition just opened on the Swansea Print Workshop site. It’s a story in words and images of my journey to Pakistan back in 2007 and how it subsequently led me to work with a pre-historian and filmmaker for three years travelling across the wild areas of South Wales.

A Slow Road To High Mountains
Way back in 2007 I was lucky to travel to Pakistan for a two-week visit with friends from Wales, Denmark and Pakistan. We travelled the country in a large minibus, taking in it’s extraordinary and varied geography. We spent a couple of days travelling to the Hunza region in the Karakoram Mountain range in theContinue reading “A Slow Road To High Mountains”
#Caturday Saturday
Someone gave me some slightly used Derwent AQUAtone watercolour sticks to try out (they’re now discontinued). I have a sheet of Khadi handmade paper. And I have a stencil in the shape of our little rescue cat Bill aka William Chatnoir. I’m planning to have some fun here.
Writhing Strokes…
I am lucky to do quite a bit of teaching in Community Arts and I worked with a lovely group at Swansea’s GS Artists last week, teaching how to paint an imaginary landscape inspired by Vincent van Gogh. In two hours! 😀 We used canvas boards, acrylic paints and palette knives. This is a smallContinue reading “Writhing Strokes…”
#Caturday
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s my silhouette of Little Bill looking at a copy I did of van Gogh’s painting of his bedroom at Arles. Throughout the Covid lockdown, I spent my Friday lunchtimes on Facebook, joining in with the artist Ed Sumner, who ran the Cheese and Wine Paint Club. He did 72Continue reading “#Caturday”

The painter Ed Sumner ran a free Friday afternoon art class, The Cheese and Wine Painting Club, throughout Covid, teaching by copying the great artists. ThisContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 21: The Hockney Cat.”
#Caturday Silhouette 20: Spring Has Sprung
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I stuck the positive silhouette of our little rescue cat, Bill AKA William ChatNoir, onto a window with a blob of BluTack and took a photo of her framed by our garden. Spring has properly sprung and the plants are growing faster than I can keep them underContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 20: Spring Has Sprung”
#Caturday Silhouette 19: In The Garden
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I stuck the negative silhouette of our little rescue cat, Bill AKA William ChatNoir, onto a window with a blob of BluTack and took a photo of our garden through it.
#Caturday Silhouette 18: Mari Lwyd Again.
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and this week I have put the positive silhouette of Our Bill (the rescue cat) onto a rough proof print of my latest Mari Lwyd linocut. I find that with traditional grey lino, it can take one or two attempts to get a good print from a newly cut block, soContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 18: Mari Lwyd Again.”
