Creative Waves Community Garden

Recently we've been working on painting these wooden bird cut-outs to repurpose them for the community garden. We've been using enammal paints to for a waterproof finish, but theyre ridiculously tricky to blend and paint with so alot of improvising was involved!
I like to imagine them as bird siblings as they look similar but aren't matching...can't wait to see them up.


CreativeWaves' Colonade House Exhibition

11/24

My second oppurtunity exhibiting in Nov 2024 was at Colonade House Gallery with Ceative Waves.

Despite it being quite last minute, I gathered two pieces from my barracuda series as well as some stickers and badges from the collection I've been slowly gowing.

This expeience was wonderful and working with Nadia and Nessie fom CreativeWaves taught me so much.





DarkFest Worthing Exhibition

10-11/24

In October 2024 I had the oppurtunity to exhibit in Newland Gallery's "Darkfest". It was such a wonderful oppurtunity to meet so many lovely creatives that enjoy a bit of spookiness... and I'm so grateful to have experienced it.

I had a print of my illustration "Carmilla" exhibited, which ended up being bought!! So exciting.

This was the first time I've exhibited at a space other than my uni gallery, so it was an insightful experience - espcially because a week later I got to exhibit with Creative Waves at Colonade House!



Selling...

My Carmilla print was recently bought from the Darkfest exhibition, and this is a bit of documentation on presentatipn and how I packaged it.

This is the only print I've done for Carmilla, and I signed the bottom of it. I had also written my name and contact details on the back of the frame for exhibition, then slipped in a piece of paper with the link to my website page on the piece to provide further information on it.
I slipped in a note - I know the person who bought it and so it was a little personal - and I thanked them for supporting me and for their kind words! Along with a couple of my stickers...
