My upcoming exhibition, Touching Ice will showcase work completed since returning from Antarctica as Artist in Residence for The Friends of The Scott Polar Research Institute.

When I started this blog a friend of mine said to me that the most important thing I should do, is be consistent - that people who follow blogs like to know that on a particular day every week or every month, there will be something new for them to look at.

Frank Zappa once said that without deviation there can be no progress. Well, I am certainly enjoying being a deviant in the workshop at the moment, experimenting with encaustic monotypes, a type of printing technique using hot wax, which I've never tried before.

Polar research. Where to begin?

For an excited newbie like me, it’s like jumping into a puddle only to find yourself in desperate need of a life vest.

I found out last week that I have been selected as the Friends of The Scott Polar Research Institute’s Artist in Residence for 2016 and this coming March, I will be joining the crew of HMS Protector on her journey south to the Antarctic.
