Friday 13th September - lucky for the artists exhibiting at the Bewdley Museum's Foundry Studio and Gallery

You are invited to the opening of an exhibition of artists' books and original prints.

I hope Friday 13th September is lucky for all the artists who are exhibiting their books and prints during this evening (6-8pm) at Bewdley Museum's Foundry studio and gallery, and there is a good turn out to see this exciting work.
Most of the artists' books are a combination of both image and words and relate to a wide range of subject matter. 
Some of my own prints link to the work of the brilliant ImagetextImage poets - Emma Purshouse, Dave Finchett, Jane Seabourne, Nick Pearson. Subject matter includes garlic, 'Spot the Ball' and a woman losing her mind in Wolverhampton...

If you can't make it to the opening, the exhibition is on:

Saturday 14th to Sunday 22nd September
Open 11.00 – 16.00 at weekends 
(weekdays flexible hours - check before visiting)

It's on for a month now - closing on Saturday 18th May.  All images are for sale via the gallery shop.

Finding the Balance Exhibition - opens Sat 20 April at Wolverhampton Art Gallery. Meet the artist 1-3pm

Finding the Balance – exhibition  at Wolverhampton Art Gallery

Meet the artist Saturday 20 April  1-3pm

Exhibition runs from Saturday 20 April –  Saturday 18 May

An exhibition of lino prints, monotypes, mixed media prints and iPad drawings exploring that elusive balance within your own life and environment

Finding the balance is a life’s project.   On a personal level when dealing with knocks, worries and demands how do you stay calm?  I asked Lilly (aged 4) and she told me that at nursery she does meditation, or as she calls it, ‘Ommm time’.   I like boxercise, working in my garden, stopping to smell the flowers, having an Indian Head massage...

Creating work for this exhibition is all part of my attempt at finding my own  balance.  I love printmaking and have used a combination of both traditional methods, that involve using a manual etching press, and digital prints and iPad drawings.
