Planning 4m of wall space!

As there are 8 of us artists coming together in the Courtyard Gallery for Gallery Takeover 2025 I’m planning… what does 4m look like? How will my artwork sit together, being framed acrylics, and also this year’s framed watercolours?

I expect we will all have to be adaptable as we are yet to see each other’s work!

The end of the Summer Warwickshire Open Studios this Weekend 5 & 6 July ‘25

What a wonderful summer to host the annual WOS! Thanks to all my friends, neighbours and students who have travelled to see my exhibition in the Warwickshire countryside!

The watercolour paintings have proved very popular with the theme of English Countryside Hedgerows, and associated gift cards both hand painted and printed.

The sun has streamed in as I’ve chatted to visitors, or sat and painted. It’s being an excellent use of time and situation.

Come and visit on our final weekend, there’s plenty to see!

Public Art and It’s Benefits

artsandcraftsv

Having visited the newly erected Birmingham Light external exhibition in Victoria Square on Tuesday in central Birmingham, and seen the fantastic array of artists work (Pear) – I hope that more councils will see and understand the many benefits of involving artists to create artwork that brightens up large public areas!

I relaxed in the seating areas and soaked up the atmosphere. I witnessed visitors slowing down, pausing, enjoying the newly found breathing space in the busy business area of the Second City in England. The range of 2D artwork providing something appealing to everyone.

Thanks to Central BID , and Colmore BID, together with Ruth Millington, for their funding and vision. I hope other councils will take your lead.

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is hosting Surreal Solihull from 6 March to 30 May in central Solihull town when it will be moved to Shirley, finally coming to rest in Chelmsley Wood by the end of the year.
