A lovely, inspired workshop with Sandra Cull recently. We organised this as an art party. A beautiful, tranquil morning working to music and tailored to suit everyone's needs. I hope all needs were met. I have been running workshops for adults and children from my studio for six years now, since teaching art at Chisi High School, and always try to tailor things to sit the needs of the specific group/groups. Although I wouldn't call myself a prolific exhibitor, I began exhibiting in 2000, in the UK and, despite a four year gap when I was buried in babies! I have been involved in at least one if not two exhibitions per year. Need to start painting for the next one...All studio requests welcome.

Nature continues it's own inexplicable journey through time. Life is little, eternity everything, yet in rare given moments we are punctuated by an exquisite oneness with the universe, an extension of it's powerful self and so the strange disquiet of remote separation from our surrounds momentarily dissolves and we are left feeling a quiet and beautiful peace. I find great comfort in those moments....these are my thoughts.
