Cloud Busting Day

There's nothing like a bit of Cloud Spotting on your birthday on the beautiful Swedish island of Gotland !

Colours have been my joy and I felt that they loved my hands
Emil Nolde


The Emil Nolde exhibition at Nordiska Akvarllmuseet was a feast for the eyes and surpassed all our expectations.


Oppet Hus






Loved seeing the sculpture on the west coast of Sweden this month.

Lots of summer exhibitions, now coming to a close. Favourites were the Villa Bro Skulpturpark, with monumental works by Viktor and Ann Korneev, paintings by IngerWihl and textiles and paintings by designer, Annika Wihl.

Two days spent in a creative workshop on the west coast of Sweden, led by my friend, the artist Eta Hedman. Fantastic inspiration where we played with colour. So absorbed that we all lost track of the time.

We had the opportunity to use chunky handmade beeswax oil crayons, made by a local artist. Beautiful rich colours and thick textures that you can move around the page with a knife.

I splashed out and bought some to play with, back home.
This should see me through the grey London winter.
