Hello and Happy all that! To make way for new work and new ideas and also just because, I'm having a sale in my Etsy shop (which is to become a sale items only space). Lots of lovely originals at silly prices. I'm a big fan of getting a bargain so I thought it would be fun! Shop Here.

Happy New Year to all, thanks to everyone who has supported me and my painting over the last few years. Hopefully there'll be lots of good things to come from my studio in 2015!

My 2013 painting 'Maria' was featured in Art Finder's Best of the Week newsletter, 8th Nov. I love Art Finder, it's a great site and they also offer interest free payments on orders over £300. "Pay only 10% upfront and spread the remaining cost over 6, 10 or 12 equal monthly payments." - Art Finder

My painting 'Kristine' is featured in the Spotlight on the UK collection on Saatchi Art's homepage this week. I love Saatchi Art and not just because I got featured a lot last year and was named as one of their One to Watch artists (both really great things by the way). I just think it's a great platform for artists and can wholeheartedly recommend them. Oh, and it's probably my most updated online portfolio so if you want to see available works then it's a good place to start (ArtFinder's the second most updated, just so you know!)

I've been selected as a winner in the latest ArtSlant Showcase (Abstract category). Haven't managed to win the overall category, so this type of a win is like being shortlisted if that makes sense? Still a nice thing in any case and it's something to aim for to get the overall win at some point, I'm nothing if not determined at times.

Brief post to tell of a lovely feature on myself and my work in this week's Mildred Magazine, an online Aussie magazine with fab features and articles. I'm chuffed to have been featured - have a look if you like! - Mildred Issue 75 -
