Upcoming exhibitions and fairs...

And so it begins..... the art fair season is upon us!  I've been slowly starting to fill up my diary with art fairs, open studios and different events.  I am really looking forward to them all - there will be lots of new experiences, and I'm looking forward to meeting lots of different people and artists along the way!

I've been continually updating my 'about' page with where I can be found over the next couple of months, but thought it might be worth a blog too, so you can pop some of the dates in your diary if you fancy coming to see some of my work 'for real' and to say hello of course!

I'll try and keep the front page updated with next events too - and I'm always updating my facebook art page, twitter and instagram with things as I go along. I'll pop some links below too - please come and find me and give me a follow to keep up with information and new projects and products!

This year's theme is trees (and birds)!  Hooray! You can find my artist profile for the festival HERE.

And there will be more dates to come for later in the year!

Hopefully I will get to see some of you there - all of the events are free to attend, and it's a great way of supporting local artists.
