I'm braving it and going solo for the Open Studios Ayrshire weekend this year, which is Fri 11th - Sun 13th September.

I'm the only member exhibiting in Kilmarnock although there are studios open throughout Ayrshire, from Colmonell to West Kilbride.

If you would like to visit and have a nosey at my studio and browse my work, I'd be delighted to see you! I'll have original art, prints, cards, tote bags and other goodies on sale, as well as details on my Autumn workshops.

There will be sketchbooks and work in progress displayed too!

Further details about my venue are on the invite below and more details on the art trail, including all the other Coorie artists taking part are on the Open Studios Ayrshire website. Links to my site and OSA are here:

Lesley is having a Studio Sale on 25th and 26th April 12-4 pm. It will be worth a visit!

I'm having a SALE!
To officially open my garden art studio and in preparation for another exhibition at the end of the year, I am holding a sale on the 25th and 26th of April to clear some space for new work.

There will be lots of bargains, with some paintings and products being reduced up to 50%, as well as some new mini framed pieces on show.

If you are in the area, it would be lovely to see you!
There is plenty of on street parking and as there is no Kilmarnock football fixture at Rugby Park that weekend, parking restrictions DO NOT apply as they are only for match days.

Come along, say hello, have a browse!
