Explore Art: Children's art project

Art Project
A friend of mine, Sorsha, who teaches primary school children, asked if she could take some of my paintings as the starting point for an art project with them. I talked through my process and stages of the paintings’ development and she then went through this with her students for their art project, taking my work as inspiration. The students worked over a period of weeks, sketching ideas and developing them further on paper & canvas.
The results are stunning, and you can see them for yourselves here.
​I’m very happy to have been a part of this Art project.

"They all look fantastic! Really inspiring. I love the students' use of colour and how they took my work and ran with it, making the art their own. I also loved reading their comments, what they found difficult and how they approached the challenge it posed.
Good to see the preparatory drawings and how they developed with paint and tape to the finished artwork.
Interesting for me to read what they saw in my work, shapes, colour, street plans and how they interpreted it. It was a pleasure to read and look at the students' paintings; you presented their work in a really engaging way. So glad you were inspired to design this project for your students. Well done everyone."

Artweeks 2023

6/5/2023

 
Picture
As May begins it heralds the start of Artweeks 2023 and it’s put me into reflective mood about the last time I exhibited 2019.


2019 was when I last exhibited in Artweeks. 
Artweeks 2019 I was at West Ox Arts, Bampton & Cool Contours, Chipping Warden. See listing below for info.

Along with me and 14 other artists and makers @ Cool Contours was James Stead, pictured here with me, who was one of the finalists in the 2023 Pottery Throw Down. 






In 2018 I completed Sukhita Yoga teacher training. My focus moved from art to yoga, teaching & building up classes when Covid hit. Teaching yoga online became my only option in lockdown, repurposing one end of my studio to teach from. Clearing out and moving as much as I could into my Art part of studio. It’s stayed that way as we moved out of lockdown. 
In October 2020, during lockdown, I was diagnosed with Lung Cancer which was somewhat of a shock being someone who was pretty fit practicing yoga almost daily and not being a smoker. The mutation I have is EGFR+ which mainly affects women, but like breast cancer men are also diagnosed with it.
