Artists Interview

  • 10 Jan 202210 Jan 2022

My interview on Textileartist.org is up on their website – read more about my process and details of some of my work.  I’m so excited to be presenting an online workshop for the members of the Stitchclub.  Unfortunately membership is closed for the moment but subscribe to their really interesting newsletter which will give you a heads-up when membership is open again.  There is a subscription box on the interview page.  Leave a comment here or there and I’ll do my best to answer soon.

Brunsvigia orientalis

  • 8 Apr 202130 Dec 2021

What fun I’ve had in the last while, discovering where the Brunvigia are flowering locally!  It’s been a good year indeed, but in the end I opted to sit under a tree in a friend’s garden and draw and paint a paler specimen.  There are just so many colours and movement and the shade on a hot day was most welcome.  I used watercolours, water soluble wax crayons, coloured pencils in a Hahnemühle Carnet de Aquarelle Journal.  It’s a heavy weight 400gsm Cold Pressed Watercolour journal and perfect for outdoors as there’s no paper buckling and quite secure in our wind.

Fynbos and Fantasies

  • 29 Dec 202030 Dec 2021

Every year or two, I gather a group of artist friends together and we mount an exhibition at our local Bistro over the festive season.

There are six of us this year and a wonderful exhibition it’s turned out to be too.  Our opening was sadly cancelled due to Covid restrictions (how I look forward to the day when the word Covid is a distant memory!), but not to be too daunted we’ve put together an online catalogue. I’ts an eclectic exhibition of painting, pastels, printmaking, ceramics, fibreart and woodcraft. Read more “Fynbos and Fantasies” →

Vice Versa

  • 12 May 201730 Dec 2021

What a wonderful theme for an exhibition!  I am part of an exhibition running at Art.b gallery at the moment entitled Vice Versa, curated by Juria Le Roux.  Invited artists were asked to find a ‘partner’ and each were then asked to to a work of their impression of the other.  This could take the form of a construction, written work, sculpture or a portrait which some chose to do, while others are more abstract works and some just simply quirky.  My partner is Victor Harley, and these are our contributions… every picture tells a story.  Victor’s mixed media work is entitled ‘Conversations with a disproportionate loss’, while mine is ‘The dichotomy of the seen and the unseen ‘.
