Tapestry August 16, 2019 11:24

My mum loves tapestry so I drew one of my designs onto canvas - the stuff with the holes in! She’s spent the last two years making his despite having macular degeneration and I thought she wouldn’t be able to finish it. Yet she surprised me a couple of weeks ago when she gave it to me for my birthday

Gower Backdrop July 1, 2019 00:00

Here’s another pic of one of our open studio signs with gorgeous Gower in the background. If you’re not from the area it’s worth taking some time to walk and view the scenery in addition to visiting the artist studios

Gower Open Studios June 2, 2019 16:47

So this is the month that I need to promote our open studio creative fundraising event! It’s a bit different as we’ll be open from 4pm TIL 9pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday 5,6,7 of July. The Red Arrows are putting on their show over Swansea Bay during Saturday and Sunday and some of the roads in Swansea are closed. It doesn’t affect any of the roads near me, but if you’re coming to see us from afar you’ll have to use a different motorway exit. 

We have some new artists showing their work alongside mine and I’ll be revealing them in my next blog post. 


New glass floral decorations May 15, 2019 00:00

Gower Open Studios May 11, 2019 18:17

I’ve just finished the flyer for the Gower Open Studio event at my house this summer and here’s a sneak preview before it goes to print.

I’ll be exhibiting my work alongside several other artists in my colourful Californian style bungalow in Langland.

We’ll have a pop up cafe, bar and plants for sale. Visitors are warmly invited to bring friends, look at art and sit in the garden

This year we will be making a contribution towards The Welsh Dragon Burns Club from sales made during the open studio.

New Paper Cut Florals April 26, 2019 16:35

Ive just created some new circular flower and bird paper cut designs. I have to say I’m overwhelmed at the response this one received when I posted it on Instagram - almost 700 likes to date! My posts usually receive around 100-150 so I’m not quite sure why this one went crazy. It must have been a mistake!


Frosted window film March 27, 2019 22:51

In preparation for applying by hand a design to a clients window, I had a trial run on a window in my own house. It’s not quite finished yet but it went well enough for me to happily apply my customers film with great result. Image of that window coming shortly. In the meantime here’s my trial 


The mess it makes February 18, 2019 10:00
