Another Open Studios over …
It’s hard to believe that I’ve been at Northlight now for a year and a half. Open Studios this weekend was busy, although we had to compete with Wimbledon and the World Cup! I made some new Limited Edition prints, which were very successful. Now the weekend is over, I can concentrate on painting again. Although today, I’m going to the Holmfirth Artweek. Maybe tomorrow …

Hebden Bridge Open Studios 2010
The Open Studios weekend is coming up fast! It’s on 2nd, 3rd and 4th July, open from 11am to 5pm each day. I’ll be taking part at Northlight Art Studios and am busy getting back into painting after the excitement (and hard work!) of organising our degree show and subsequent Dean Clough exhibition. It’s been good to be back in the studio, getting covered in paint and catching up with the other artists.
Degrees of Vision: Link
We are currently setting up our graduate exhibition at Dean Clough Galleries in Halifax. We will be opening this Saturday 19th June 2010, and the exhibition runs through until the 18th July, open 10am – 5pm, 7 days a week. There will be a whole range of exhibitions opening there this Saturday, and there is a great Cafe downstairs. Sound tempting enough? This is one of two paintings that I will be showing there.
LiteracyHead – online literacy education magazine
LiteracyHead is a new online magazine providing resources for literacy educators. According to their website “A Literacyhead is someone who is intensely serious about exercising creative literacy, making connections across multiple literacies, pursuing thoughtful literacy as an individual and as a teacher, and constantly searching for ideas. Literacyheads may have expertise in different areas of literacy, but all are committed to children’s literacy, passionate about the arts, incessant thinkers, and display a propensity for having fun.” On this site, creative literacy is not just about words, but also about visual literacy – the art of reading pictures.
I was lucky enough to be approached by them, and asked to collaborate on an article in their magazine, and the article about my work is in the current issue.
