Watercolour botanical

May 2025 Newsletter
Here is an update on my art journey….
Latest on website!
Please browse the range of pantings I have available on my website. One might be a perfect Spring addition to your home decor or could be a unique and lasting gift for that special person in your life. Would you be interested if I sold coasters, mugs or cushions with some of my art designs on them?
In the Studio
On a recent holiday I had the opportunity of creating many small botanical pieces using watercolours. Many of these have now been added to cards or framed as small paintings for sale at an upcoming mini craft market - see below.
Craft Fair - Nature in Art
I will have a stall at the popular Nature in Art Craft Fair on 24th May, where I will be selling my art on a wide range of products including tea lights, candle holders, paintings, coasters, mugs, and keyrings! If you live locally, please come and visit me there! It is a fantastic place for a day out with its Museum and Art Gallery, Sculpture Garden and a great Coffee Shop. They also run many art courses for adults and children. Well worth a visit! See https://natureinart.org.uk/
Book update!
Search Press, my publisher are busy designing my book cover and have been doing product photo shoots for the book. Very exciting! I hope to see a draft edit very soon. My book will describe how to hand dye tissue paper will also include ten inspiring projects on how to use the hand dyed tissue paper. The launch date is set for February 2026! Now less than one year to go! Keep following for more info…
best wishes,
