I hope you having a nice February folks, I've been super busy making new work in January for the Funaday exhibition in March. Hope you can pop along for a wine and to see some 60 particiapants works. My Funaday project saw me become well and truly obsessed with lichen! You can see some of the works produced below. These will be in the exhibition and all work is for sale.

 

I've also been setting up my new art class empire! Lots of new courses coming including a wire workshop 10th March and my new kids class Artbuds has finally returned startingThursday next week! All my classes are held in the White Space at WASPS Artist Studios in Dundee.  Read on for more information.

If you are a follower of my Fairytale inspired artwork, which stems from my Meffan Gallery Show 'The Girl who had a Tail' in 2013 you may be interested in my new instagram account. I am continuing to draw and create stories around the girl, charting her journey to woman through my drawings and digital collages that you can see above (Angel, 2017) and to the right (The Edge 2017). This work is really honest, raw and explores feminism, mental health, and the relationship with the body as a woman, through my own self-invented mythology. It's challenging and deals with thoughts and experiences that are not pretty, but it's art therapy to me. I do want to develop it more and work towards another exhibition soon. There are prints available of both these pieces and originals drawings are also for sale. Get in touch if you'd like to see more or are interested in buying a piece or print.

Thanks for reading! Here's a pic of me at Pittenweem Arts Festival last year. I'm excited to announce I'll be back again this year. I was overjoyed by the success of my show and how lovely a place it is to stay. Such a beautiful picturesque area and so peaceful waking up to see the sea every day. It was also brilliant to get all that art I've been making out of the studio and out into the world and especially away to new homes! Have a great February.
