Movers & Shakers 

A MERRY-GO-ROUND OF MAKERS, ARTISTS, INTERIORS, FOOD & CULTURE

 

Dear Friends,

 

With the birds singing their hearts out and British Summer time around the corner; it is a time to rejoice. In Leo Tolstoy's words: 'spring is the time of plans and projects'.

SPOT LIGHT

AILEEN JOHNSTON

Hands up to who thought at first glance this artwork was a painting?

I certainly mistook this incredible TEXTILE work as a painting, not an embroidered masterpiece! The colour and detail is insane! Aileen is the most talented textile artist I have come across in a while; I am blown away by her talent. You can find Aileen's work on her instagram page and The Doorway Gallery (Ireland) which coincidentally represents Lucy Doyle, another talented artist whom I admire.

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD

TIME for TEA
