Spring Newsletter. As I work on new colourful pieces, re-visiting techniques and materials, I'm reminded every morning by a very noisy blackbird that Spring is most definitely here. My latest pieces, Ink Flowers, Series 1 and 2, are available as originals and are to be reproduced on various stationery items. My next work will be figurative using charcoal - follow my progress on Facebook and Twitter, or if you're local, call in to the Roundhay Open Artists' Studios event on 26th April to see my progress at home. I'm also looking for a venue in the Yorkshire area to show some of my "Wildflowers" not originally shown - please contact me if you know of a venue or reception area.
