Together with Sophie Nixon, a friend and a fab painter of Manchester’s iconic buildings, I have challenged myself to do something I wouldn’t normally do…I’ve signed up for the Buxton Spa Prize.  It’s an en plein air competition that has already seen us out sketching in a designated spot in Buxton, Derbyshire. I’ve decided to combine printmaking and painting to produce the final piece of work.  Here are some of my sketches from the day.

Unit 4 residency March- April 2019 As well as working on our own projects relating to movement, we worked together on a series of paintings from film using projection.  These included moving self portraits and a crowd in a Liverpool street.  

Thanks to everyone who came to see me at the Bury Print Fair at Bury Art Gallery yesterday I really enjoyed talking to people about my work and I was really happy to let some of my original mixed media work and prints go to some lovely homes.  I’m looking forward to getting back into the printmaking studio now to make more work and I have a commission to get on with as well.
