A new collaboration begins with Hazel Evans

An exciting new collaboration began between myself and Hazel Evans, resident artist at The Lighthouse last week. Hazel and I have previously worked and exhibited together at events such as The Bookshelf at Poole Literary Festival and The Monochronium at The Lighthouse in Poole.

We identified cross-overs in the ways that we approach our creative practice and our inspirations which include ink, magic, fictional worlds and storytelling so it seemed only natural that we would create some work together and 2012 seems to be our year!

Our collaboration began in a woodland where we responded to our environment and each other's output. We intend to showcase our collaboration later this year.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this collaboration may lead us. Heres a few photos of our first meeting...

Collaboration with Anna Morgan

I was very lucky to have my studio documented by the photographer Anna Morgan last month.

I haven't let a photographer snoop around my studio before! But it was a pleasure to have Anna highlight the beauty in objects that I use everyday and to capture the quirks of my own character so well. Here are a few of Anna's photos. More will be showcased on my new website when it is launched this month.






Anna and I plan to collaborate on an enchanting outdoor photo shoot this year so watch this space for that!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break. December always seems to be the fastest and busiest month of the year!



I've been visiting friends and family in London and Kent over the last couple of weeks and am currently working away on a couple of longer projects and my new website and on-line shop that will be launched this month. (Exciting!)

So...whilst you wait for me to reveal all of that, heres a picture of Mr Bumble in his new coat...
