I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a bursary from the Dulcie Mayne Stephens trust, which will enable me to travel to Amsterdam next month to see the Van Gogh at Work exhibition and attend the symposium there. I am immensely excited and grateful about it, and can’t wait for my first visit to the city.
This is one of a series of photos my friend Hannah Warren has taken in and around my hometown. They are hand processed and enlarged film photos, a skill I’ve long forgotten but really admire. When I last updated my artist website, I added selected photographs I’ve taken over the past 12 months using disposable cameras. I’d really like to get back into photography - must try to find myself a nice manual SLR for the summer. Film is so cheap now, it’d be a crime not to!
Went along to my first Cardiff sketchers today which was really motivational. I haven’t put pen to paper in weeks, which is a bit alarming but I’ll definitely be sketching more habitually now. I look forward to the next one!
A couple of photographs from the opening night of the show on Friday 3rd - a little grainy, but that’s the gamble you take with disposable cameras!

Finally got round to updating my site, with a [highly] simplified statement and the addition of selected recent photographs.
