'Verdandi'

With snow and drifts causing disruption across Dumfries & Galloway, cabin fever was beginning to set in.Luckily today I headed east to Langholm where bizarrely there was no snow. Julie Dumbarton had an open studio event celebrating 20 years as an artist. With vibrant colours covering canvases,prints and cards,there certainly was a Spring feel in the air. Check out Julie's website to see her wonderful work.

Meanwhile the Spring Fling launch event is on Thursday 28th March at Gracefield Arts Centre,Dumfries. I'm really looking forward to meeting fellow artists & makers from across the region who will be participating in this year's event in May.

One work I have handed in for the pop-up taster exhibition (29th-31st March)is 'Verdandi', a box-work which is a new way of presenting my work. I'm pleased with the result and have now a sketchbook of new designs for boxes of varying sizes.....
