Walking into my new studio where it is quite cold, but quiet and peaceful, feels lovely. I know I will not be disturbed by anything, and I can get down to work. Here are some photos of new work in progress:

Teaching in St. Ives, reading Eckhart Tolle, working on forms emerging from trees, from each other… dreaming of eagle and lamb each of the other…
Last week I taught a one-day workshop in St. Ives in the small studio at St Ives School of Painting, over-looking the sea… We made drawings and monotypes from a bodily place, arrived at through working with the breath, the non-dominant hand, and responding to music. Here are some of the images produced…. […]
New works in progress, oils….
Excited about moving to Studio 6 at Trewarveneth in April.. I’ve been working in oils on paper, loving working with glorious colours again! I’m reading a book by Alan Bleakley, Fruits of the Moon Tree: Medicine Wheel and Transpersonal Psychology, and found this great quote: “Blake knew that it is what we have made invisible […]

The Tyrolean Folk Museum… some reflections (this article will also appear in Aesthetip magazine… but possibly with different pictures)
The Tyrolean Folk Museum is situated in the centre of Innsbruck, in the old town, very near the Dom, or Cathedral. Created in 1888 and recently re-furbished, it is a fantastic and fascinating place to spend a few hours. I visited in February on my free day in Innsbruck whilst presenting at the university.

York, New Schoolhouse Gallery March 7th – April 26th 2014
The beginning of March has been busy and full of new things. I had a long journey to York but it was good to have some time out to reflect. I stayed in a lovely airbnb, in a little girl’s room, with wolf and stars posters, and a large cuddly wolf should I need company […]

February 2014 Innsbruck….
I returned two days ago from the Minding Animals International Conference, held at the University of Innsbruck (Feb 6 – 8th). I met many very interesting and well-informed people. I enjoyed learning about the dingo, but I was sad and shocked to hear of all the animals who die pressed against the so-called rabbit proof […]
New monotypes, January 2014
I have been working hard in the lovely spacious Newlyn studio, making many monotypes on fragile but beautiful Japanese Gampi paper. It is time to move my focus to oil painting again though, which is more difficult for me. I have two lovely large new canvases ready to go! Today was a raven day. I […]
