Il update you on this very soon.
Thankyou all for your support in 2022. I wish you all a very happy new year.
I had a much needed and very enjoyable break over Christmas and now Im raring to go again.
I am hoping to get some new travel prints done this year.
I was so busy with paintings and printing last year, so apologies if you are waiting on new designs.
There will also be a new range of word art this year too. So please look out for these on social media.
DEC 22
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
Thankyou very much for all your support again in 2022.
It is very much appreciated.
I could not do the job I love without you.
THANKYOU
DELAYED PRINTS As you are aware Royal Mail have had several strikes this month with more days to come in December.
This has caused delays and a backlog of parcels awaiting delivery which is why iv had to close my online shops early.
Understandably you may be worried about your parcels. All we can do for now is to give them time to arrive.
My customers are very important to me, so please don't worry as I will sort out any worries with regards to missing parcels in the new year.
However, I do still have faith in our posties, as for the last 5 years, iv been posted hundreds of parcels and Iv only had 1 go missing in all that time.
I'm still here at the end of an email if you have an urgent matter to discuss.
Im taking some time off over Christmas and due to the strikes, iv decided to close early this year.
Prints are highly likely to be delayed, lost or possibly damaged due to a backlog of parcels at Royal Mail.
So I will not be posting anymore orders out until mid January.
Sorry for any inconvenience. Please see links page for local stockists.
Iv decide to close my Etsy shop early this year due to postal strikes.
NEW! A5 SIZE IN TRAVEL PRINTS
A few of my customers have requested the travel posters in the smaller size,
so A5 now available.
NOV 22
Here is a list of the Christmas Fairs I will be at. I hope you will come along.
Sat 19th Nov Seaview Yacht Club
Sat 26th and 27th November, Northwood House
3rd December, Weavers Yard Open Day
Sun 11th December, The Garlic Farm
Christmas cards are now available in packs of 5. Iv set it up so you can choose which designs you like.
SEPTEMBER 22
When I took on the studio at Weavers Yard, it was to give me more working space, I was hoping to set some opening times, but this isnt going to work for me. Although, I am often in the studio, I sometimes bring my work home.
So I will be open by appointment or if I'm there, you are very welcome to come in and browse.
I have booked in for some Christmas fairs, so keep an eye out here, or on my Instagram and Facebook pages for more details.
I will also have occasional Open Studio days.
AUGUST 22
Iv settled into my new Studio now down at Weavers Yard. Its more of a studio space than a gallery with set opening hours, but if im in you are welcome to view the large selection of prints, cards and original paintings I have in stock in the little shop area.
OPEN STUDIO 22
FRI 13THJULY - SAT 23RD JULY
OPEN DAILY 10-2
ORIGINAL PAINTINGS, PRINTS - FRAMED AND UNFRAMED
AND CARDS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO VIEW OR BUY
10B WEAVERS YARD, BEMBRIDGE, PO35 5US
Weavers Yard can be found round back of Lane End shops
Parking on road.
NO PARKING IN YARD
Finding frames can be a headache.
Iv listened to your feedback and now you will see the option of imperial and metric sizing.
The overall size is very similar but for framing purposes I have given you two options.
IKEA usually stock 50 x 40 CM frames. Whereas 20 x 16 INCH frames can be found widely in most High st stores.
Size includes mount, so just look for a frame the same size as you order and the print with mount will fit straight in.
At long last I am moving from my loft studio into a new space at Weavers Yard in Bembridge. I will miss the view as I would often look out across to the harbour and the Duver on a hot day, longing for swim. But with the sloping roof and limited space the time had come.
I will be open for business at Weavers Yard, PO35 5UE. You are welcome to pop in to discuss commissions or buy prints and cards.
I will not have set open hours but will aim to be there Monday to Friday 10-2, sometimes longer but if you are making a special trip over, I would advise you text me first on 07563798996
Very excited to be showing at the Northwood House sprint art and garden fair this weekend on Friday15th and Sat 16th April 2022
Please come along and say hello
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Im feeling very excited about 2022. Im going to be taking my paintings in a slightly new direction.
Im very drawn to mid century designs and whilst maintaining my stripy style I will aim to introduce this style into my work,
creating a more minimalist style.
I am also looking forward to doing some shows this year.[/b]
2021
Back up and running!
There was a short delay for a while due to printer problems but issues resolved and my usual speedy service has resumed.
Its that time of year again.
Although Im listed in the back of the Open Studios catalogue, my loft studio just isnt suitable
for visitors and Im very busy keeping up with your orders, so not practical for me to take time out.
But so much of my work is available to view or buy from the Aqualibrium Gallery down on the duver.
You will find Julia, Will and Caroline very helpful and its such a lovely area for a walk and lunch or an icecream.
Just drive to the end of the road and look for the big green sheds.
You can also give me a ring or email me with any questions regarding my work or to discuss commissions.
And you can order from my website. Postage is free anywhere in U.K
Delighted to be showing my work at the AA London Gallery in Chiswick.
I will be working on some more London paintings soon.
I love painting stripes but sometimes I like to to experiment with other techniques.
So I have added a FREESTYLE section to my SHOP page.
NEW range of square posters with town and village names in fun colours.
BE THERE, BE SQUARE.
Open Studios is going ahead ths summer. Although I wont have open doors,
you can find most of my original paintings and prints down at the Aqualibrium gallery.
FREE P & P IS BACK
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
