I am working hard in my studio with oil and watercolour, preparing for a show at Arusha Gallery, Dundas Street, in Edinburgh opening early August. I will be going up there to give a talk on August 24th.
I’m also excited about going to run a stall at A Fête Worse than Death in London on July 19th. I’ll be running a stall called I CAN DRAW YOUR DREAM and I’ll be asking people to tell me their dreams, which I’ll do my best to respond to with either drawing, monotype, or drawing through carbon paper. I’ll have colour available too and maybe respond with that.
I’ll also be teaching in St. Ives (St. Ives School of Painting) a course I’m calling Dreamscapes and Memories (July 8 – 11th), where students will use various drawing techniques to explore and reveal their important life experiences and incorporate them into their creative language.
I am very pleased indeed to be able to say that Susan Daniel McElroy(until recently curator at Tate St. Ives) has agreed to work with me to help me forge a stronger path with my work. I am going to be making much larger works in the very near future.
