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.
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'.
'Harbour lights' is our next event happening at the St Ives Arts Club at the end of this month. Alison Dupernex will be joining myself with her colourful textiles.
On 12th April we opened the doors to our new gallery space in St Ives. An exciting new start in a lovely light airy space to display our metalwork, jewellery & artwork on Island Square.
