Current work

I am looking forward to having our second room cleared of all its storage and creating a beautiful,  comfortable creative space to work in. I have been looking at some ideas on Pinterest and I don't know if that is a good or bad thing because some people have really 'WOW' space to work in. I realise they are a tiny minority though.  I will share some here. Would you be interested to see the before and after? Let me know and I will take pictures.

New work - The Colour Collecton

I am so thrilled to finally be posting some work from a new series I have been working on. I am enjoying so much exploring pattern and textures as well as the bright colours warming up these Southern Hemisphere winter days. Hope they brighten your day too! Feel free to share on Pinterest, just hover your cursor over the picture you want to share. 

Please do not print them out. They will soon be available for sale! 

Elephant Sculpture

When I was a sculpture student our lecturer took us to the Port Elizabeth Museum to meet their taxidermist. He gave me a rat skull which resembled an elephant head and trunk (perhaps more so if you are far sighted). Anyway, this is what became of it.

Plaster, wax, found object. 

Vintage Reeva ceramics

Although this is vintage Reeva pottery, I did have great fun photographing it. It was made pre-digital age and I could never do it justice. More postings tomorrow!
