An Apology

I have been through a rather hectic and, in many ways, upsetting period over the past eight months. Without going into specifics, I have somehow attracted more negativity than usual. This has forced me to take a temporary step back from many of the things I love to do — but only for a short time. I know I have missed some correspondence with followers, for which I sincerely apologize. I have also cancelled plans for any retreats this year. However, things are looking up at last and I’m working on new material for the upcoming summer.

I am currently preparing, along with many fellow artists, for the Dorset Art Weeks which is the largest ART event in the calendar. It opens on 23rd May and runs until 7th June throughout Dorset.

I shall be exhibiting and demonstrating at Portlands favourite venue - The Royal Manor Theatre - with a group of 18 other artists not only painters, but sculptors, ceramicists, silver jewellery and more. There will be demonstrations happening most days and a Pop-Up Tea-Shop serving home made cakes (to die for). Open from 10am to 5pm daily. I look forward to seeing you there.
