A Bird in Hand

A few months ago a lovely journalist, Tess Curran and an equally lovely photographer, Alarna Zinn from Peppermint Magazine came to visit me in my studio.  The gorgeous 5 page article is now published in their latest issue #20.  I'm absolutely thrilled to be included in this terrific magazine and to be given such a generous spread with such a thoughtfully written article which covers all the main ideas I wanted to get across.  
There are lots of other great articles in the issue as well, with a focus on music - great summer holiday reading.

    Wow! I know we get this magazine in stores in Canada so now I'm off to have a better look at the article up close. I'll be reading it by the fire in our season of autumn. Take care. xo Carole

    You are sweet Carole - thanks so much and wonderful it travels all the way to Canada. PS do you know anything about Bampf? There is an artist residency there attached to a university and I'm wondering about applying at some time. best wishes to you as you head into Winter! Also, I am launching a new website in the new year so the art side of this blog will be transferred to a "journal" page on the website. cheers Louise x
