India sketchbook

Got back in the sketchbook zone on my recent trip to South India. Got so much inspiration  from the colourful country and am so very thankful for the space this journey gave me to draw, cut, stick and paint. Below are the pages of my home made sketchbook, after 2 months away it is bursting with pigment and smelling of curry.

Di's India Project

DI MILSTEIN AT THE WELSH QUILT MUSEUM

For over a year i have been working with/ assisting/ argueing over colours with the great Diana Milstein attic screenprinter extraordinaire.. to realise her dream of a series of printed and collaged wall hangings  inspired by her trip to India early last year... There was blood sweat and tears up there in the studio and the indian imagery has ressonated slowly throughout 2012 enough to make me book flights. !  The 10 hangings will be on show at the Quilt Museum of Lampeter, South Wales in the Spring. I will be back from my time in the tropics to see them and finally understand what all the fuss was about. http://www.welshquilts.com/  and Di's best work at http://misssmithart.co.uk

100 acre wood.

Now i'm based in Brighton, East Sussex, it was only a matter of time before me and my 4 legged friend Mango made it to walk in the mud in Ashdown forest AKA Winnie the Pooh's hundered acre wood. The wintery trees and storybook vibe set up a nice concept for this tree mural. As well as stunning countryside around Brighton, the city is full of more fun and more nice people than i ever imagined!!

Always believe in your soul. GOLD!

Art Deco peacocks in shiny gold were an obvious choice for this matt black wall!

Love the frame idea and the feeling of painting with liquid gold never gets old!

Hopper house rules

There has been all manner of art-tastic happenings since the days started getting shorter around here. Double-exposure photography helped me make the most from the late sunrises and early sunsets over the Brighton beachfront. Have a look on this new blog how excited i got.

As well as furniture painting, screen-printing and book-binding between East Sussex and Mid Somerset there has been a hell of a lot of face-painting-fun but it wasn't until i visited this chap last week that i remembered about WALLS!!!

I've forgotten about walls. Joel thanks for reminding me. your triangles are awesome and so wonderfully neat!. we WILL collaborate
