This is a view of Stoodley Pike from Heptonstall. I took a photograph of it one summer evening last year. I loved the view so much I painted it. The original is sold but I have a giclée print of it available at Open Studios. The colours are lovely and rich (I had it printed locally at Knights Graphics) and I am really pleased with how close it is to the original.
I hope you can come and visit the Open Studios this weekend. I look forward to meeting you!
Tuesday’s preview for my open studios is this hand printed bunting. Perfect for brightening up a neglected corner of your home!
I have made a string of bunting with birds and one with trees (which I have above my desk at home). You can also buy them in my shop if you can’t make it this weekend.
Happy Monday! This is one of my favourite paintings sold at my “Under the Same Sky” exhibition. Never fear though! I have giclée prints available at my Open Studio.
S is for Sunday, Seconds and Screen prints.This fella will be making an appearance at my Open Studios, as well as lots of seconds on sale..and that’s a lot of S’s.
Day 2 of my Open Studio preview….Bird drawings in biro pen. Literally my favourite medium and subject. I have quite a few framed ones including a new hummingbird. Do come along and see!
In a weeks’ time Hebden Bridge Open Studios will begin.This is when the public get to see all those creative spaces and the beautiful work that is made in them.
I will be opening my studio along with the super talented Hannah Nunn.
To celebrate and to give a sneaky peak of what will be in my studio I am going to feature a piece of artwork each day on my blog.
So without further ado, first up are lots of handprinted cards…
I have been thinking about the colour palette of each of these cards; I wanted them to have their own identity in their ranges but still have some running thread.I have already made prints to sit along side the Kingfishers and I am particularly excited about making the hummingbirds into prints. I used metallic green ink for these-it made me very happy to see how it shined against the matt grey recycled card (it is the small things)!
Hold on to your seats for the next instalment…

Here are a few pictures from my exhibition at Heart Gallery. Some original paintings have been sold but there are some available as well as giclée prints.
The exhibition is on until the 6th of November, do visit if you can!
Today is the day! My private view is today at Heart Gallery I hope to see you there!
This is my last painting in my countdown to the exhibition. Here is a little bit of info about it:
This is a painting inspired by an evening picnic.It was my friend’s birthday and we went to the meadows above Nutclough woods. We chatted, laughed and ate as the light faded and cloaked the hills in indigos. The bright colours of the flowers still around us.This is my memory of it.
