New Designers 2010

7/31/2013

After the completing my final year show in 2010 I was lucky enough to be selected to go to New Designers show in Islington, London representing my University. My pieces that were chosen for the were the more aesthetic samples for the development of my final year project 'If walls could talk'.
They are plasterboard pieces with hand carved wall paper patterns. I found the show a really useful experiences and it was my first chance to talk to professionals that were interested in my work.

Here I am in the pink dress standing next to my pieces that were being showcased.

In the summer 2012 I took part of the Hampshire Open Studios with the help of my parents who helped convert their garage into a studio for me. The Open Studios includes artists from all over the Hampshire area and it was a great experience to get a face to face reaction that people have to my work.

It was the first chance that I have had to display my whole portfolio in one place. You could see a progression of skill as my style has changed and adapted into what it is today! I had some lovely people visit and some touching notes left for me!

Somewhereto_ Oxford Street John Lewis Exhibition

I recently have been working with a charity somewhereto_ who have been helping me find spaces to exhibit and events that I can participate with. In June they held a competition in which 10 winners would have their work shown in the John Lewis on Oxford Street throughout July. I was fortunate enough to be one of these winners, so on the 27th of July I was able to go down and see my piece.

It started with an early to London and after a wrong turn on Oxford Street, I eventually found John Lewis and my piece.

I was pleased with how much my painting stood out from the wall and it was easily noticeable from the escalator. The piece in this exhibition is titled ‘My Week with Marilyn’ it is inspired by the film of the same name, I found the film so beautiful and amazing how Michelle Williams was able to completely inhabit the time and space of Marilyn Monroe while she was filming ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’ in England. The painting captures a timeless moment of Marilyn/Michelle.
I am hoping that this will be my first of many shows in London and I am looking forward to the new opportunites that are coming my way.
