I spent all of February, and little of March, working on a new children's book, and it's finally ready to share! It's a counting book inspired by my son.

And of course I've got a video all about it

I've got a new video on my Youtube channel showing me having a go at miniature pottery. I'm really happy with the results but it was a bit messy getting there!

I had a successful day at Stotfold Walking Market yesterday. Thank you to my parents for letting me take over their driveway!
The weather was lovely and it was great to see so many people out and about.

My painting ‘Paddling’ is on display as part of the Open Exhibition at the Broadway Gallery. I think my little art critic liked it!
The exhibition is on until 7th October so if you’re in Letchworth do pop in. There’s a wide range of art to see!

I have a painting in this years Open Exhibition at the Broadway Gallery in Letchworth.

Open Now! The Letchworth Open is Hertfordshire’s largest open-submission exhibition, and has been the uniting established, emerging and amateur artists from across the Hertfordshire and its surroundings. Now in its third year, this remarkable showcase provides insight into one of the most creativity regions and offers a platform for diverse approaches to creativity, establishing the Broadway Gallery and Letchworth as the cultural epicentre of visual arts in Hertfordshire.

I've just finished making a set of wood-burned dog key rings ready for some upcoming craft fairs.
The pug was lucky to make the cut as I found that fluffy dogs work better with this technique.
