Lino cards and prints I’ve produced over the past few weeks will be listed in my Etsy shop this week.
I did my first Christmas market yesterday in the Grain Exchange, Ayr with Etsy Ayrshire Team artisan market. It was lovely to be invited to take part in this market plus have the opportunity to do a physical market and meet everyone The next market I’ll be doing is with Tea Green Events, a virtual market beautifully co ordinated involving  Scottish designers/crafters/artists. There are always lots of offers to look out for and I’ll be running a discount of 20% with the code TEAGREENWINTER in my Etsy shop over the weekend of 28th/29th November. Tea Green also have a beautiful website, check out some inspiring Scottish talent and shop independent this Christmas!

Our campaign to create our audiovisual EP Homespun....4 new songs by Davy Hughes (Trashcan Sinatras) merged with 4 of my animation has gone off to a flying start thanks to all the fab pledgers! We really appreciate all the effort everyone has made especially during such hard times for some of us. We will continue to crowdfund until the deadline is up September 14th hitting as many targets as is possible. The stretch funding will enable us to add on other necessities for our project. We also aim to organise a launch in Ayrshire for the EP and have already started the ball rolling! There are still quite a lot of rewards left for you to choose from !
​To keep updated you can lfollow/like my face book page or follow the crowdfund page. I’ll put the links below. Please help us spread the word if possible, we really appreciate it all  Thank you! x

Thank you to everyone who shared donated/pledged on our crowdfunder campaign yesterday. We managed to hit our first target in day one, a huge heartfelt thanks for that!  For a £50 pledge I still have 3 x full day one to one watercolour workshops up for grabs!  The workshops will run one to one from my studio at Irvine  Harbour 10.30am to 4..00pm and  I'll even throw in a cake and tea/coffee! All materials provided. The workshops  will take place at a time that will suit both myself and participants (hopefully by November/December) following guidance from government Covid 19  advice for creative workshops. If you are interested please have a look or get in touch for more info. I've attached my email address below and a link to the crowdfunder.
Many thanks

Hello everyone. My Crowdfunder uk Homespun is now live, the link is below. The money raised will be to put towards better hardware/software and online training to produce an audiovisual EP consisting of combining animations by myself with new music by musician/writer & band member of Trashcan Sinatras Davy Hughes. Once we raise £1000 Creative Scotland will match funding this given there are 30 pledgers.  Please can you help spread the word by sharing, pledging donating to help us reach our £1000 target! We have lots of fantastic rewards also! Many thanks in advance. ❤️

These 5 giclee prints plus a card of the same image (for a £20 pledge) are also rewards in my crowdfunder campaign going live next Monday 17th August. You can choose what one you would like, they were printed by the fab Scotland’s artists.comto a very high quality on German Etching paper. They measure 20cm x 18cm and come unframed. I‘ve added in a couple of images to show what they’re like in a frame. 😊

edit.

“Made up Story” Acrylic collage paintings 1,2, (50cm x 70cm) 3 (74cm x 60cm) & 4 (97cm x 70cm) are all for sale as a reward on my Crowdfunder.co.uk campaign. These paintings will also feature as backdrops in one or more animations I’ll be making with my little collaboration with Davy Hughes “Homespun”. The campaign goes live a week today August 17th. I’ll post what rewards we have on the run up to this and the crowdfund details will be on this Facebook page a week today I think at 9am!
We do hope you will join us and support the campaign by sharing etc to anyone who might be interested!
Much love & thanks in advance, this is the first ever time we’ve worked together, it’s very nerve wracking so fingers crossed.

The Paisley Art Institute is online for the first time this year. It’s one of my favourite annual exhibitions. They have done an amazing job creating it in a virtual gallery.  I have these 2 paintings in it this year, “Blooming” and “Toy Boat”, the link is below.
