'Nooks, Crannies and Niches' exhibition

Nooks, Crannies and Niches
Seven artists in Waltham Forest Arts Club will be creating an exhibition 
at The Maker's Yard, an amazing space in East London. 
June 11-15, 2014

Julian Beere - will present an interactive 'hide and seek' artist bookwork based on an idea presented at the 'Nature Culture' exhibition at The Makers Yard, in 2013.

Fiona Emm - will present a textiles hanging.

Natalie Gray - will present a mixed media installation.

Julie Caves - will present a sculptural installation of mythical female figures camouflaged within the lush setting of The Makers Yard garden. 

Nicolette Murin - will present Waves, a site specific interaction, in the greenhouse of The Makers Yard.

Anna Bisset - will present environmental drawings made in and directly from the environment, be they outdoor or interior spaces. They will be evidence of time spent in quiet contemplation in an otherwise busy and demanding world and, as such, represent a break or a temporary escape from this reality, whilst depicting another aspect of it.

Drawn to Leaves

Three of us are working towards an exhibition of paintings and drawings looking at the interest we all share in leaves, trees and forests. Our fascination with leaves comes from different viewpoints and the artwork is in a variety of styles and mediums.

Today I painted a small oil on canvas.
