I have six days to prepare for the opening of my studio for the Open Studios Ayrshire weekend and all guns are blazing this morning, with last minute orders, pricing, rearranging and tidying all jostling for priority!
I will be keeping you all updated as I go along, with snippets of paintings available for sale, sketchbook teasers, new totebag designs and much more!

SAVE THE DATE!
Open Studios Ayrshire
11th -13th September

I'll be opening my Kilmarnock studio for the three day Open Studios Ayrshire event, as part of the art trail. I'll have some new work on show as well as prints and new tote bags etc.
Follow along and see the preparations unfold!

Today was tidy up day - clearing shelves, tidying cupboards and sorting a whole load of paper for collage. Lots more to do, but I'm looking forward to the challenge!

Come along if you can! It's my first time participating from home. It's a chance to see my working space and find out a bit more about my work and I'd be delighted if you popped in!

I'm a bit late with this due to time pressures, but I'd like to thank Seamill Hydro and the wonderful customers I met at the recent summer market!

I had a great time, meeting new people and catching up with old friends and colleagues too!
Thanks to everyone who stopped to browse, chat or purchase my art. I hope to see you at the next one!

Seamill Hydro Summer Market is on Sunday 9th August and I am looking forward to trading for the first time here, along with some fabulous artisan makers and artists.

I’ll have a selection of original art, prints, gelprint covered books, and a few surprise items on display.

Bring a friend, browse the stalls, have a coffee or a lovely lunch, go for a seaside walk and catch up in a lovely venue!
