Arty changes
In September I posted “Arty things in the pipeline” . Everything has come to pass. I am now booked to deliver four sessions for Art Workshop in January 2020. The biggest change is that on Saturday November 2nd I got the keys to Unit 7, Tilly Mead, 1-5 Commercial Road, Swanage BH19 1DF. This address …
Back on track….my first solo exhibition
Purbeck Art Weeks run an opportunity to exhibit art in the cafe at RSPB Arne. I booked a spot 18 months ago and of course then just got on with everything else. This morning a week on from the intended start date (subject to illness) Jenny Hawkes took her exhibition down and I put mine …
Pause due to illness but also new works created
Well October is here. I should have hung my first solo exhibition on Sunday and spent the last two mornings at the primary school and out on the seafront sketching.
