It’s International Women’s Day in just under a week and I’m collaborating with the artist Unity on a new piece for the exhibition at Swansea’s Cinema & Co. The concept is based on those women who have influenced us creatively. The finished piece will be 1.5 x 1 metres and on canvas, which I’mContinue reading “Stretching My Creativity”

Collaboration In Progress
Something that’s gestating, something that’s a collaboration with the artist Unity, something that will be revealed on International Women’s Day ……..
A Face Emerges….
Here’s another snippet of the new artwork, a collaboration with graffiti artist Unity (Amelia Thomas). We’re doing it for the International Women’s Day exhibition in Swansea, opening on March the 8th at Cinema & Co. This image is based on a screen print I did of the French Impressionist sculptor, Camille Claudel……
Sanguine
This is another bit of a large canvas I’m working on at the moment, a collaboration with fellow artist Unity aka Millimagic. Unity has worked on the canvas with spray paint and pen, developing a typographical structure and background texture. I’ve started to draw in some imagery with sanguine conté crayon. The finished piece will be launchedContinue reading “Sanguine”
Chalk And Cheese
I’m collaborating with fellow artist Unity aka Millimagic who works with graffiti style forms, influenced by hip hop culture. I have rarely collaborated on an artwork in the past and this, along with Unity’s cultural influences are new to me. Musically I’m a rock chick and I’d describe my style of art as fairlyContinue reading “Chalk And Cheese”
Face To Face With A Dead Horse
Husb and I are spending a few days in The Lake District with family and I have taken a break from drawing. It’s great scenery around here but I’m not much of a landscape person to be honest, I’d rather draw cityscapes. I did a lot of drawings last weekend at Gellionen Chapel’s MariContinue reading “Face To Face With A Dead Horse”
Chuffed To Bits
I just heard today that I have had 2 artworks accepted into the Swansea Open exhibition, running from December the 3rd to January the 6th. It’s returned after a gap of about 5 years, while the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery was closed and being refurbished, and it’s great to see it back. I’m chuffedContinue reading “Chuffed To Bits”
Warming Up
Here’s a quick warm-up sketch I did at life drawing last week at Swansea Print Workshop. After this I worked on a portrait study for an hour, but I find I need to have a quick scribble to start with, to get used to the model and pose before committing myself to a longerContinue reading “Warming Up”
Formidable
At the end of tonight’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop, our model asked if she always looked ‘cross’ when she posed. I don’t think she looks cross at all, so I explained about what younger people call a “resting bitch face”. I roared with laughter when I first heard that phrase, but itContinue reading “Formidable”
