Pan Macmillan Art Space

Long time no blog...my baby boy has been keeping me busy!
Some happy news! My piece "Being followed" has been selected to be shown at the Pan Macmillan Art Space, hooray :D 
It's not open to the public unfortunately, but if you are a member of staff, or a guest, you'll be able to see it when it launches in March.
Hope you are all keeping warm!!

Lovely things!

Happy new year! I hope you had a good winter break :)
We have some new residents in our house. The moustachioed 2 on the left are by Bobby Dazzler, and the 2 stripy fellows on the right are by the wonderful Donna Wilson. A funny little motley crew to keep us entertained!


I received a surprise package from Japan, which included beautiful handkerchiefs spelling Oki's name in Japanese, and a fantastic book by Bruno Munari. This lovely package was put together by Nishiyama-san from children's book publisher Froebel-kan, who I met in Japan nearly 3 years ago. Oki and I enjoyed the book very much :D

A couple more beautiful picture books we received this Christmas...oooh very inspiring stuff!! It makes me want to make pictures!

We're in love with these mobiles we bought for our baby boy, to hang above his cot. Really simple designs by Danish mobile makers Flensted. They move beautifully and cast lovely shadows too. They're so hypnotic and soothing, I could spend hours looking up at Oki's sky :)

what I wore today...

Oooh it's been a long time since I've picked up a paint brush!! Today, our little boy was very good and gave me a bit of hands free time, sleeping somewhere other than on me during the day, long enough for me to eat lunch, do some washing AND make this picture for "What I wore today", hooray!!


For the past 11 weeks, I have been mostly wearing our little baby boy, bags under my eyes and a tired but big happy smile :D
