Wooliam, Jumper and Cardy –
The Galvanised Garden Gang Life sized, or near enough, chicken wire sculptures.
Made as a challenge to myself to “go big”. I had previously made smaller birds and hares, but I wasn’t sure how to go about attacking larger projects. This bunch of baa..a……rbarians took many, many hours to make, but I did learn how not to tackle larger scale sculptures along the way as well as how to preserve the skin on my fingers, leg and knees and avoid wrecking my finger, elbow and shoulder joints. All in all, a happy ending!!!!! Thank you, Graham, for keeping me fed and watered whilst getting carried away with chicken wire in the roof xxx |

Low Nook, Pen and crayon – 16x23 inch
My first attempt at drawing outside and I think a lucky start. I had just joined Penrith Art Club and was encouraged by a member at one of the evening club nights to join in on the outside sketching sessions. I really enjoyed drawing with everyone and then the get together afterwards. T’was fun and a nice way to meet some new, like minded bods. I now love sketching outside, weather permitting!!!

Punk Fish – Fly Catching, Monotype print 16x23 inch
About 10 years ago I made this print from a picture I scratched out on an acrylic sheet, inked up and put through a press. The process was done over a few weeks at evening classes held at a sixth form college in Wiltshire. I thought these few weeks were just fab, but printing like this at home is a tall order. 10 years on, I was bought a pasta maker this Christmas because I had seen that you can do mini-intaglio printing at home using one. I’m going to have a go!!!

Tyne Bridge – Bottoms Up, Pen and ink – 10x10 inch
Both my sons recently moved to Newcastle from London and I wanted to do each of them a picy. I found a fab photo of the bridge by Adam Lang, of Lang Shot Photography, who let me use his image as source material. I used layers of acrylic ink, in much the same way as applying water colour washes, although I prefer the vibrancy of the inky colours.

Busy Bods Being Busy
An installation of box canvases 8x8 inches, painted with acrylics and used as a background for the clambering clay men, to busy themselves in silly tasks. I have made clay characters for friends and family since my teens. They have donned many surfaces, sometimes even cakes, and often manage to survive as keep sakes many years!!! I now make installations of Busy Bods doing busy things on varying backdrops. I love mucking around trying to make quirky scenes.
