Networking!!

After the success of my recent exhibition and fantastic feedback that I received, I have spent the last few weeks concentrating on getting my name out there.

I have chatted to a lot of fab artists recently. It's always good to stay in contact as you never know when you might be able to help each other out or pass on relevant information. We're all in the same boat and we need to stick together :o)

My current venture is adding my work to the art community site, Redbubble. It's a really great site that allows you to upload work, meet other artists, comment on other people's work, favourite different pieces and sell in a hassle free environment. It's basically a bit like Facebook but for artists!

Feel free to drop in and let me know what you think of my work! :o)

Current exhibition

   Shabitat flyer

Over the last month I have exhibited my work at Shabitat, Brighton as part of the Art Open House Festival. I had a fantastic time! Sibel at Shabitat arranged an open day on the 14th May which involved circus, screen print and bag making workshops. A good crowd turned up and enjoyed the sunshine and fun :o) There was also a private viewing with live music in the evening.

My work will be up for another few weeks so if you are in the area you should pop in :o)

Exhibition work from the past few years...


Right, well here's my first post ... I suppose the most sensible thing would be to show some of my work that I have done in the past; so here are a couple of the most popular pieces of work from my exhibitions over the last few years :o)
