Glass Mosaic
I'm delighted to have completed my first large glass mosaic. Comprised of over 750 pieces of hand cut colour and textured glass and tiles, 'Garden of Joy' is a freestyle composition with clusters of flowers and foliage, interspersed with coloured accents. It is a portable piece, 100 x 33 x 1.5cm, and can be propped on a windowsill or suspended from two small holes near the top. It is wonderful to see the colours transform according to the time of day, throwing colour across the room. For sale at £1650. My plan is to make two more at this size, as well as to explore other sizes in the future. It is currently on display and for sale at the pop up gallery in the middle of the Ashley Centre, Epsom.

Painted Furniture
Chairs make frequent appearances in my paintings and now I am painting actual chairs! My first project is an antique oak hall chair that has exquisite carvings and an unusual seat shape. With the help of Jane at Sheldon Paints in Hampton Hill, I learned how to apply Annie Sloan chalk paints to maximise the depth and detail of the carvings, whilst giving it my own colourful rebranding. This will be shown for the first time at the LIVING Design Exhibtion at the Barbican Library in January 2019. No doubt other projects will follow when I spot other gems at antique markets...! If you would like me to recolour something you own, I would be very happy to have a chat, or why not look out for Jane's workshops and have a go yourself? (Dec 2018)

New Hand Painted Prints
You may have seen some of these at my 'On the Table' exhibition at The Fountain Gallery in March this year. This new collection involves working directly in paint pens onto fine art prints of earlier paintings, combining my brush and pen styles to create a new integrated aesthetic. They are individually hand-drawn making each version unique with its own title. Shown (at left) is 'A Spring Morning' which looks stunning in a bespoke black frame with acid free mount, price £250. The collection is proving popular and I've teamed up with a great local framer to ensure you get the best finished art to hang on your wall. (April 2016)

I love having visitors to the studio and a couple of weeks ago 'Made By Mrs M' spent the morning with me. Owner Kate Marsden is a successful textile designer known especially for her mid-century architectural fabric designs, some of which are currently available at the Royal Academy shop in London.

The Studio's 10th Anniversary
I first moved into my studio in November 2004, when I was in the middle of my degree at Wimbledon. Over the years lots of playful and absorbing experiments have been carried out using everyday objects like balloons covered in drawing pins, flower buds dipped in latex or teddy bears wrapped in brown packing tape. Sketchbooks, photographs, folders with loose drawings, painting jars, old brushes now surround me and consequently I work in a more confined space than when I began! I still love to use objects in my drawings and paintings and enjoy the rich themes of interiors, the home, women and places. Feel free to get in touch any time to come and visit the studio. Anniversary flyer (pdf). (October 2014)
