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.

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.

Spring has most definitely sprung here in St Ives with some warm sunny days & the sea thrift starting to bloom.
