Shame on me for these infrequent updates. Soon to become even more infrequent I suppose as I embark on motherhood at some point in the next couple of weeks!
So before I completely disappear from the Blogisphere I shall let you know about a few little bits and bobs that are occurring during May that are well worth a visit if you are in Brighton.
First up there is good ol’ Boxbird in St Johns Street in Hove. They are currently hosting ‘A to B’ - it’s an exhibition of limited edition prints all based around the theme of travel.
I am not actually involved in this show but my regular prints are still available in the browsers.
Here are a few of my favourite exhibits from A to B.
First: Ellen Giggenbach ‘Mr Finigans Secret’ under that, ‘Lost’ an original ink and watercolour by Stephen Elford and lastly ‘Night Flyers’ by Sharifa Brooks Read.
All gorgeous examples from a very eclectic and exciting display. Make sure to check it out before the 27th May.
The lovely people at Rostra & Rooksmoor in beautiful Bath have taken on some of my prints. If you are in the area you should pop in and see the other stunning items they have in stock. I bought one of these wonderful ceramic hares by Chloe Harford of ‘Glazed and Amazed’ - the turquoise and copper combination was irresistible.
I’ve just had a few prints accepted by 2 wonderful gallery/shops. First there’s Elphick’s gallery - a cool little place near Brick Lane and Spitalfields in East London.
Located at 160 Columbia Road, London E2, Elphick’s acts as a studio during the week and a gallery/shop on a Sunday to coincide with the famous flower market.
Gallery owner and artist Sharon Elphick shares my love of nature as an art theme - her own work is lovely - I particularly like these art deco-ish flowers. I’m really digging the art deco style at the moment, I’m working on a few patterns with this influence and will share with you soon.
Elphick’s is also the first and only official UK retailer of Charley Harper’s prints.
Hus & Hem is another great shop in Ledbury, Herefordshire who also kindly took in my prints. Although I haven’t visited in the flesh, friends of mine have and it sounds like heaven for all Scandinavian design lovers so I certainly intend to check it out as soon as I can. I have just signed up to their mailing list to be notified when their online shop is launched. Go check them out!
A bit late in the day with this but in a mere 4 days I shall be taking part at the wonderful Brighton Art Fair. I shall be under the wing of Boxbird gallery where the ever enthusiastic Alice will be happy to sell you a selection of my prints. You will also find a fantastic array of affordable artwork throughout this show. Boxbird will be found at Stand 16
Only on for a few days so here’s a great excuse for a weekend in Brighton. Friday October 2nd - 4th.
And here are a few of my prints that will be available from the Boxbird stand:
Mid Summer Spectacle - silkscreen
Good Morning and In Full Bloom - both silkscreens
Red Leaves:Noon - silkscreen
One of the tasks I’m dealing with at the moment is getting my prints into new galleries. I put out a few feelers a couple of weeks ago - so far just looking at the South East area - and am really chuffed to have received positive responses from them all. So far, you can now you can find my prints available to purchase from Bluemoon in Tunbridge Wells and Riverside Art in Lewes. Both galleries offer a really diverse selection of art and sculpture, in very unpretentious surroundings.
