From the 13th to the 19th of April, my portrait drawing class will be displaying our work at the Gallery At St Martin's in Lincoln. The gallery is open 10-4 and there will be a private viewing on the 17th at 6pm until 8. We know art has the power to move us. We actually have a much stronger reaction to seeing the art in person over looking at a digital reproduction, so making a trip to the gallery is always worth it.

Browse the market for unique handmade goods, have a cup of tea in the café, and take in the beautiful lakes!

It's been a busy year full of changes for me! This year I have: Started a new job I really like. It does limit my time for art but I'm going to be honest, I don't care. It has taken away the pressure of being a starving artist and means I can do arty things for fun and not hungrily eye up the next customer. Tried lots of new activities. I tried pole dancing, I signed up for a new CrossFit gym, I signed up for archery in the new year, I've even signed up for singing lessons!
