My Work in The Artist Magazine

An article featuring work from my Hydrangeas Series will be published in the March issue of The Artist Magazine. This issue will be on sale from around 12th February and can be ordered online from The Painters Online website. I know some branches of W. H. Smiths also stock The Artist, so you may well be able to pick up a copy there if you'd like to see the article. The magazine is mainly aimed at painters and takes a very practical approach. There is a section with information on current exhibitions around the country and one listing opportunities for artists. Although aimed at artists, this is an ideal magazine for the non-artist interested in art, or the amateur artist, as it's packed with practical tips and advice and generously illustrated with a variety of work from a range of artists.

The paintings featured in the article, along with a number of my glass paintings and a few of my landscapes, are currently available to view by appointment at the Gaunt Gallery, Frome, Somerset. So, just in case you're able to visit the Gallery the address and contact details are as follows:

1 Church Street, Frome, Somerset. BA11 1PW
telephone/fax number: 01373 452344

Handmade Earrings

I have now added a collection of handmade earrings to my website which can be purchased through Paypal. During the next few weeks I'll be adding more earrings, and later in the year I intend creating a range of necklaces and bracelets. You can find photos and details of prices and postal charges here

Paintings

After an enforced break from painting of several months, I have at last started a new oil painting for my Memories Series. I should soon be able to add photos of the stages of the painting to my works in progress blog.

Prints

You can now order quality prints (framed or unframed) of several of my paintings from the US site Imagekind. The original paintings for some of these prints have already been sold, but others are still available for sale. Please contact me if you would like a price list for any of my available paintings.

The Calder Gallery - Nov 2007 - Jan 2008

20 Market Street, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire HX7 6AA
tel: 01422 843832 www.caldergallery.co.uk

Six pieces of work from my Winter Series will be on display at The Calder Gallery from 16th November 2007 until some time in January 2008. All work was completed using a combination of ink and coloured pencil and each piece is mounted and framed using solid oak frames and UV filter glass.

The gallery also shows some excellent landscape paintings by resident artist, Phil Withersby and superbly crafted boxes with intricate inlaid detail by John Prescott, amongst lots of other great work. The attractive little town of Hebden Bridge is well worth a visit if you're in the area, and there are lots of places to eat and drink, many of which are open on Sundays, including an excellent fish and chip shop (I speak from experience).

The gallery opening times are as follows:

Wednesday to Saturday 10 am - 5.30 pm
Sundays and Bank Holidays 11 am - 5.00 pm


Here's the work which is currently on show along with a few photos of the work displayed in the gallery:

Weekend Gallery - May/June 2007

I'm very grateful to Lisa and Juliette for taking photos of my work at the Weekend Gallery. Lisa took some photos at the opening and Juliette took a couple of window from the outside in daylight.
Despite awful weather for the opening, I was fortunate enough to sell three paintings including my husband's favourite - the Hydrangea in the vase (in the window).
By the way, the dogs aren't mine, they're the work of Kerry Jameson.

Here are the works which sold...
