These are a few of the new paintings I've been creating over the winter months for a solo exhibition at the 'Shire Hall' in Bodmin this May. These are smaller paintings to be shown with the larger landscape canvases.
My little girl, Megan has been helping me to make spirit art dolls with painted calico. Sewing tiny crystal chips and beads onto these dolls to give them extra specialbility. A few rag dolls inspired from people we meet at the summer festivals. We have yet to make more clothing for them from recycled fabrics and found treasures. I will be selling the spirit dolls soon.

ReplyDeleteThe dolls are very cute and have that "folk" feel. I love that you're inspired by fairy tales.
ReplyDeleteYour art is very serene and pretty.
I myself have been inspired by swans. So it's exciting to see a fellow illustrator's inspiration.
Take a look at my work:
