Another #100dayproject just completed! This time my theme was #100daysofbeachfinds incorporating a beach walk/clean to collect the source material then a daily drawing of some of those finds. Man-made & natural items combined to create a collection of postcard sized images.
An introduction to our 'cat clan' - family of cats in St Ives. Meet Timmy, Sidney Six Diners, Barnaby the Chonk & Treacle Soft Paws each with their own character. St Ives has a cat connection - not just in our house.
I have recently completed a really inspiring course of experimental painting with artist Dan Pyne at the Newlyn School of Art. Exploring surface textures, paint effects & unique surfaces with alternative materials has given me a plethora of new ideas! I am looking forward to creating new artwork incorporating some of these techniques.
The annual event in St Just at Cape Cornwall School continues until 5 pm Friday this week. The show raises fund for Cancer Research UK & includes over 200 exhibitors of art & craft work all made within a 30 mile radius of the area. I am exhibiting metalwork & artwork at the exhibition.
After a three day course with Hilary Jean Gibson, through the St Ives School of Painting, I created a sketchbook of observations made at the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden. Here I am sharing some of the pages & ideas.
My latest work 'Metallic texture' is a combination of unique copper & brass designs. Each individual cut out piece has a one-off surface. Inspired by Barbara Hepworth & Troika pottery the framed assemblages have a 'retro' feel.
The oak project or 'Lightening Dancer' is a project I worked on with artist James Eddy at the Lost Gardens of Heligan. This involved the creation of over 500 copper oak leaves which are now on permanent display in the Stewards House within the garden.
In October we continued with the #365dailycreate project with some mark making with natural objects. Diluted ink was applied with various found objects made into 'brushes'.
One of the things which inspire my work is RUST! I thought I would share a few images & also mention a new studio on the horizon.

With our move across St Ives to Ponckle's gallery we wanted to share our collection & a brief history of her interesting life with cats of course!
A look back at what we got up to during 2023 in the gallery & around Cornwall. An enjoyable year of exploring new ideas.
