17 Mar Wren
Here's my lovely little wren. You can see him framed up and looking gorgeous above. He is cut from a map of Mount Kilimanjaro. I love the way he looks like he has a ruff. The inspiration for this piece came from the quote He that hurs...
16 Mar Forming Words – Clotworthy House
I'm happy to say I have some work in the exhibition, Forming Words, which is taking place at Clotworthy House, in Antrim, Northern Ireland. The exhibition runs from 10 March to 10 May. Unfortunately there isn't much information online about the exhibition but you can...
13 Mar Zap Art Tour
I went on a Zap Art Tour last week (I've written about a previous one here) last week. It's a great way to catch up with some exhibitions and to chat with some fellow artists. We visited 7 galleries. I'm always exhausted after a tour and have...
12 Mar More Faces that are inspiring me
I went on a trip to the V&A to look for more faces. And here they are. You can see my previous inspiring faces post here. I'm still in the thinking phase for this new work. I like this phase, it feels like nothing is happening...
11 Mar Marlene Dumas at Tate Modern
Have you seen the Marlene Dumas exhibition at Tate Modern yet? I went at the weekend. It was amazing. I was already a fan but I hadn't like some of her recent work I'd seen so I went with some trepidation. I needn't have worried it...

Some photos of a few other pieces that inspired me...
05 Mar Juan Luis Moraza
When I'm in Madrid I always have to visit the Reina Sofia museum. It's one of my favourite museums, I've seen so many great exhibitions there. And if you go for the last 2 hours of the day (7-9pm) it's free. Obviously it's quite busy...
04 Mar Archaeological Museum
I do love a good museum, so on our recent trip to Madrid (click here) we went to the Archaeological Museum. I'd visited before but that was along time ago and they'd refurbished it since. I was excited to see how it'd changed. It's well worth...
02 Mar Madrid
I lived in Madrid when I was in my 20's. It was a great experience. Though tough at times. It was the first time I'd travelled abroad alone. I went there completely on my own without knowing anyone. Which was both exciting and very nerve...
