Here's a little look around my Open Studio event this weekend, for those of you who couldn't make it.

Currently my art is on display in a one woman show at The Locker Cafe called COLOUR STORIES - the exhibition runs from the 19th August until 26th September 2019 and I thought you’d like to take a look.

Last Friday I hosted a Private View evening at the cafe which involved me painting live to beautiful live harp music from the super talented Lucy Bunce. It was a really lovely evening with very positive response from those who came. One lady exclaimed “heaven must be a bit like this”!

Lucy and I both create prophetically, partnering with the Holy Spirit, seeking to bring something of God’s kingdom to those around us. There was no mention of God at the event but he was there in the colours floating from the art on the walls and easel, art inspired by grace and gratitude. He was there in the music rising from the harp strings, filling the atmosphere with heaven enriched melodies. Doing people good, building relationship and inviting them towards more.

Here is a movie that I’ve put together which includes a tour of the exhibition as well as some clips of the live art and harp.

If you’re local to Cambridge, do make a visit to the Locker Cafe, it’s a lovely setting and the art looks even better in real life!

A number of you don't live near enough to visit my Open Studio event, so I thought I'd bring it to you via my blog!

A little introduction for those who don’t know - Cambridge Open Studios runs for 4 weekends in July each year, across the city and surrounding area. Each weekend I choose to take part (this year it was the 2nd and 3rd w/e) I open my home and studio space to the public from 11 am - 6pm each day.

I transform the downstairs of my home (my lounge and kitchen) into an exhibition, displaying my art and art products on every wall and surface area I can find!
Then I distribute fliers, shout about it on social media and wait to see who comes.

It’s always such a privilege to see how many people pop in to take a look - this year I had 160 visitors over the 2 weekends. Whether they are just passing and see the balloons, have chosen me as part of a list of places in the area for the day or have specifically decided to come to see my work, I don’t take it lightly, when there are 300+ other artists also taking part around the city.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to share what I do with people - to show where I work, to talk about my process and to hear what people think. Here are some of the comments I heard or that I found written in my visitors book this time round.

This April I got to show all my favourite paintings in a beautiful gallery space in Cambridge and I thought you might like to take a look!

I called this show COLOUR SONGS as that's how I would describe my pictures - singing with colour.
This poster says 5 - 13th April but the gallery owner was so thrilled with how the exhibition looked that she invited me to extend the show for double the time, at no extra cost!

Here is a video tour for those of you who were not able to make it along in person.
