In times of stress and worry, I retreat into my home. It’s my cave, my fortress, my refuge and my comfort. I close the door on the bad old world outside and batten down the hatches to weather any storms that life throws at me. My chubby cat, Sparta Puss is an integral part ofContinue reading “Home Comfort”

The reason I don’t paint much is because I feel that all my creativity goes into drawing and once I’ve got the drawing as I want it,Continue reading “Colouring In”

I like displaying art in toilets,Continue reading “BogArt”
The Cat Sat On The Cupboard
Still tired and not done any new art this week, so here’s one from the archives (that’s a posh way of saying the big cupboard upstairs that my sketchbooks are in). Here’s Sparta Puss hanging out on top of a cupboard, likes cats do. Sparta is a naughty Tortie. A very naughty Tortie.
Coming Full Circle
A few weeks ago I was privileged to join one of Fern Smith‘s women’s circles, part of her ‘Seven Sundays In Spring’, walking through the beautiful deer park in Dynefwr, Llandeilo, drawing an extraordinary wintry tree in my sketchbooks, here’s one of the sketches below… I have thousands of sketches and dozens of sketchbooks lockedContinue reading “Coming Full Circle”

My Part In Her Story

We talked around some ideas and came up with the subject of Herstory to develop something for the International Women’s Day exhibition at Swansea’s Cinema & Co. We made a list of women who inspire our creativity andContinue reading “My Part In Her Story”
