Open Studios goes Virtual during Covid

Cambridge Open Studios became Cambridge Open Windows this year due to Covid. Inviting people into my world couldn't happen face to face this time, so things had to go virtual instead!
I've just finished displaying my art in my windows for the last 4 weekends of July along with 145+ other artists in the area, and it's been so good to have something positive to do! Let me show you.

Behind the scenes of the exhibition

It's been interesting having art in the windows every weekend, my family have been very patient living in the dark! I had to think through what would fit and how to stick. This exhibition came through the support of mainly sellotape, masking tape, Command hooks and string! And nudged me into actually cleaning my windows - which doesn't happen often!
Here's the view from the inside.

The life of an artist

This year sharing my studio and talking about my art couldn't happen face to face, so I did a virtual programme to share on social media instead.

The 1st weeks questions are covered, so let me take you through the rest.

My art tools

scrapers, squeegees, feathers, rollers, sponges, my hands and occasionally brushes!

My art process

What inspires me?

What inspires me?… COLOUR of course! That, and the contrast of order and chaos. Free/splashy/messy expression and intricate/detailed pattern.

What's next for my art?

Now my art is down and my windows feel a little bare. What's next? I'm taking a year out of my MA in Fine Art due to Covid and plan to use the time to develop my art business and within my studio to develop my sketchbook practice - which I'll share with you in due course.
