something very satisfying about having all the colours lined up chromatically before a class starts, it reflects well on the grand system in the universe.  Watercolour yesterday and acrylics class this Sunday – if you fancy popping along just email me on lemmon4art@hotmail.co.uk

Just released as a limited edition series, no.1 print is being packed and sent off to live in London as we talk- exporting a little bit of seaside warmth into a chilly November day.

As an artist its invaluable going into schools and looking at the world with a child’s eyes once again and re-learning all the instinctual ways of working that can all too easily be analysed out of adult art, plus have a great time with the kids!

My latest exhibition opens on 16th September 2015 as part of the Guernsey Literary Festival in the Royal Court, St Peter Port.

Decoupage, paint and decorate your own bowl to take home on 17th August 10-12 at Ruettes Braye studio workshop

We looked at what inspired Alexander Calder today and then developed all sorts of interesting and mysterious themes involving spiders, ducks and telephones, all free-moving with the wind to be installed permanently in the garden to chase the birds off the strawberries and to brighten the dullest days.
