Developing and honing my skills further, this two day course hosted by Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year 2022 Morag Caister, focussed on drawing the model with line and blocks of colour, whilst considering the void and empty spaces as equally important to the portrait.

I am excited to say that I have been invited to exhibited at Venue Jane Palmer and Friends again this year.

Watch this space for more info as we get nearer the time.

‘Pathways’ exhibition, Artwave, The Crypt, Seaford, East Sussex

Christmas Fair at Space2Make, Bells Yew Green, just outside of Tunbridge Wells.

I am very excited to say that I have donated some artwork to the Heart of Kent Hospice Charity Auction event at the end of October. As before, the auction is totally online so if you would like to bid (overseas art lovers are welcome!) I have supplied the links below together with a You-Tube video link of the last auction back in 2020. If you take a look, the standard of art is incredibly high and varied. Monies raised in 2020 was over £20k. Truly amazing!

Registering is easy, all you have to do is go to the website and press ‘Book Now’.

‘By registering your interest to view and bid at the event, you will have the opportunity to be the first to preview all lots listed for the auction with our exclusive online brochure, a day before the event goes live and ahead of the public.’

As with any independent charity with services costing £5 million to run, the charity is only able to achieve its goals thanks to the generosity of essential donations in the form of varied and impressive fundraising activities, vital gifts of time and the countless other ways of support. ‘Together’ says the charity, ‘we make a difference to the lives of over 1,700 local people and their loved ones.’

Incidentally my auctioned piece of art is a Limited Edition Fine Art Print with Certificate of Authenticity. It is #2/50 and is framed in a simple black frame.

‘Whatever Makes Me a Modern Girl’

The size of the framed print is 33.5 cm square

Heres that you tube link i mentioned https://youtu.be/Lde2H9FYIXE

So why not pour yourself a glass of wine and have a go at bidding for your favourite piece of art?
