Winning at Woolwich!
I was absolutely thrilled to exhibit my hand printed linocut Sky over Skye in the Curated Hang at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in London. The show was overwhelming in scale and included prints by amazingly eminent artists such as Bridget Riley, Dame Tracey Emin, David Hockney and Paula Rego. It also provided a chance for me to meet some of my art heroes and Instagram connections.
I'm excited about exploring screen printing as a medium after being awarded the inaugural Sonsoles Print Studio Prize which includes membership of their screen printing studio for a year and is a timely opportunity in terms of where I’m at as an emerging artist.
I’m also grateful to family, friends and fellow ODDY23 students for their amazing support at the show.

This time last year...
...Alongside ODDY23 colleagues we were excitedly preparing for our collective group show ‘Drawing Beyond’ which showcased a curated selection of drawings made on the Royal Drawing School's Online Drawing Development Year (ODDY) in London.
It was a fabulous event but it seems like ages ago now!
