New Vintage Style Digital Artwork

Have been meaning to tell you all about my new Vintage Style photographic prints that I showcased at the open studios this month. It was quite exciting to show something a bit different alongside my paintings and the feedback was really positive and some first sales! take a look at them in my etsy or folksy shops.

Blog Giveaway! - A chance to WIN one of my Reproduction, Archival Prints!!!

Did something like this a year or so ago and had a great response so thought id run it again as a summer holiday treat! I'm off on holiday to Northumberland for a week and will draw the winners when I return.

I will send three lucky Winners one of my limited edition size 1 reproduction prints or vintage style photos.

All you have to do is visit my Folksy or Etsy shop and leave a comment after this post here on my blog to say which print you like and if I draw your name I will happily send you that print. Three names will be drawn out of a hat on 2nd August, 6pm GMT. Good Luck !!!

Folksy

Just wanted to remind any of my UK customers that there is a way to buy my art online without having to work in dollars. I am working on uploading all my prints to my 'Folksy' shop and hope to make it my main Internet outlet rather than Etsy. Watch this space and take a look at whats there already :)

Wainsgate Exhibition

Wainsgate Baptist Church in Old Town, Hebden Bridge was the remarkable setting last weekend for the launch of a stunning exhibition of local artwork. The group of artists who all live or work in the village of Old Town comprised of Sheila Tilmouth, Alison Duddle, Weston Hammond, Nola Hayhurst, Alice Hutt, Yvonne Stubbs, Kate Boyce and AJ Wilkinson.

A spokesperson for the group said that “We were all extremely pleased to be asked to exhibit in such a beautiful and interesting old building. It is a building of historical significance located in an inspirational landscape, and it is fast becoming a creative venue of some significance”. The Launch was a great success, attracting many visitors, including a party that arrived on a specially organised ‘Open Studio bus’. Some visitors combined the viewing of the Exhibition with their attendance at the fascinating performance of the Baroque musical group‘Arioso’ who played at the Chapel on Saturday afternoon.

The Exhibition entitled Wainsgate Artists continues this weekend 10th/11th July 11am to 5pm

New Work

Hebden Bridge Open Studios & Other Deadlines!

Yes its here again, the opportunity to visit all the wonderful creative people in this valley and view an amazing array of work. Northlight Studios are of course taking part and will be open from Friday 2nd July to Sunday 4th July. I will be there all weekend, apart from Saturday afternoon (although my studio space will still be open then too) when I'll be at the Wainsgate Chapel exhibition. The Chapel is just up the road from my house in Old Town and I was very pleased to be asked to take part in the Exhibition along with other Old Town Artists, its great to do something so very local. So I am working hard at the moment to complete some new work for that. I will also have framed reproduction prints and Artists proofs on show at The Waterside gym over the Arts Festival period, from Thursday 1st July. Hope to see you soon.
