Happy New Year mine cherubs.

I hope you had a wonderful one, I've enjoyed being in amongst the chaos of two small children.

I've finally found some ground with my art after endless house renovations (totally worth it though, check out my sink, it even makes an eggy plate looks glorious).

I'm making work every day and it is a blessed relief. I can't wait to show you more.

There are new prints standing all around my studio which will be heading into the shop soon . . .

Like this vessels print, I've managed to get the colour really true to the original, a delicate yet punchy lilac/blue.

While we're talking shop . . . I have a framed print of my Little Furniture Stack to give away!

It's ready to hang and looks equally good in a tidy or messy home (pictured below).

If you would like to win all you have to do is join my mailing list using the right hand column sign-up.

To improve your chances of winning you could try doing some manifesting or charge your crystals in the moonlight.

I'll draw a name at random next week.

(See all the details of the artwork here)

I've made A3 posters of these collages, available in the shop now!

I love my flashing women. Underneath those voluminous skirts they're both blowing raspberries, just FYI.

I don't want to say much more about them, apart from that I made them at a similar time to my NO collages and they have a similar energy. I wanted to make posters of them so more people could enjoy a bit of that energy in their home.

You can pin them up or they would also look nice in these frames; I'm thinking one each side of your bed would be great.

This summer just gone I packed up my day bag and made a trip down to St Ives where I had a proper art geek treat in store for me.

Such high level geekery required the correct attire, socks and sandals just felt right.

The big treat was that Gemma at Tate let me in to Barbara Hepworth's studio for a snoop around. To get all close up to the hardworking things in there and catch a vibe for expanding the mug design a little (more news on that another time).

It was magic to get amongst all the hard working things and feel the special aura of such an amazing woman through the place she worked.

The tools felt like artworks in themselves, such satisfying shapes that corresponded to the beautiful shapes of the sculptures, maquettes and inspirational objects around the place.

I spent a good amount of time just poking about taking it all in

And then I got to spend a little time in the sun in her garden making some preliminary snips and sketches. Perfect.
