Lockdown Artworks
During the pandemic I took an about turn and focused on making sculptures for display in outdoor sculpture trails and virtual exhibitions.
This offered me the opportunity to concentrate on learning to get casts out of moulds and create my own finishes with patina.
I was assisted by family members and worked from a home studio.
I am deeply grateful for this time that I spent with my family and in the studio and to the collectors who purchased my pieces.
Social media post 2021
‘The last year or so has been a very unusual time for us all so I want to express my deep gratitude for all those who have helped me with my art practice during the pandemic.
I was fortunate to have been able to exhibit both in virtual and outdoor exhibitions in 2020. I found it a real pleasure to be able to show my work at the beautiful Savill Garden where visitors could enjoy viewing the works freely without a mask (keeping social distance of course).
I did not expect such a wonderful response to my piece and it was a incredibly humbling and uplifting experience to have dialogue with my collectors and make personal delivery of their artworks to their homes.
Sales from the 2020 exhibitions kept me very busy in my studio and I have been and am very grateful to be physically working in my little socially isolated world at this time.
I am so, so grateful to my family for their continued love, help and support. It has been priceless. I couldn't have got where I am today without your help and I feel blessed to have been locked in so close to you. Special thanks to my Mum and my uncle for all their hard work. Thank you, thank you, thank you!’
