Sleepless Inks

Pleased with how this one turned out

The Halfway House hope you like my homage to your beer festival.

A design I had stuck in my head and just had to make 😊

11 colours later and this reduction linocut is finally complete!
The idea came from chatting with my oldest friend about her vegetable patch dreams 👩‍🌾

Happy Monday!

So pleased that ‘At the Anvil’ has been selected for the Transformation Exhibition in January!

My dad retired this year after over 50yrs as a farrier - this print is just a small nod to his amazing craft.

Hope to see some of you at the Meet the Artist event on Saturday 13th Jan!

Just putting the finishing touches to King of the Sofa, one of the prints that I’ll have for sale at this weekend’s exhibition!

Green or pink highlights, which do you prefer?

The Art Exhibition and Sale will take place from 17 to 19 Nov in St. Peter and St. Paul Church, Yalding.

A percentage of all sales will be donated to the educational charity to benefit school children in the Gambia.

It’s a beginning to look a lot like Christmas workshop time!

This is one for all the family to enjoy!

Head to my other page set up for my children’s art classes and book under the link in the bio 😊

Once you’ve carved your stamps the possibilities are endless, including coasters and accessory bags!

Totally un-art related, but I only went and made myself a pair of pjs! At a class. Such a lot of fun and I now have a pair of snazzy yet unbelievably comfy pjs to boot! Think I’m now a bit hooked 😬 🪡

starts at 10am today!
A brilliant opportunity to grab some absolute bargains from some fantastic small businesses 😊

A wonderful morning spent at The Oaks Specialist College where the learners created some beautiful work for an upcoming exhibition at Lamb House NT

Can’t believe it’s crept up on me so quickly but is only a week away!!

I’m frantically sorting through my seconds and artist proofs this weekend.

This is a sneak peak of some of the seconds that will be available 😊

I’m very excited to be a part of the wonderful Miniprint Exhibition opening on 3 October.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to view and purchase original miniprints - some might say the perfect early Christmas shopping 😉😄 (is it too soon to mention Christmas 🤔🎄)

Fruit salad colours for the finish 🍬
“In the Garden”

Forever the best dad ever, with hands of leather (and always a packet of ci******es in his pocket 🙄) 😄

3rd layer of next reduction print done, 2 more 🤔 I think to go…

My latest reduction print, more seaside vibes

Delighted that I can now share my latest commission with you!

It’s always a little nerve wracking handing over the final print, and especially so when it’s a gift in memory of a pet that has passed on 🐾 but I’m over the moon to hear that the recipient loves it ❤️

Two posts in one day 😱

But I’m getting in there whilst the sun is shining to show you my new, edition of one(!) reduction cut print. I’ve really enjoyed experimenting with this new style. More to come!!!!

Swipe the see the messy final block that went down.
