Give as you Live!

Huge Thanks to LWS for exhibiting my 4 Mixed Media Paintings. These paintings were displayed as part of my Artist Open House. The powers that be of the LWS Charity viewed them and invited me to exhibit at the cafe. And so I did! And here they are! 

My husband would normally install my paintings for exhibits but this time I did them myself as he was at work. I am hugely proud of this and now know I can do it myself when the opportunity arises. 

As you know by now I am a mother of 2 daughters Armelle and Erin. They are very much involved in my work. I think it is important for them to see the whole process of what I do and how things work. Besides childcare is slim pickings on a  Sunday evening.

This is a wide shot of the Cafe. I have had numerous yummy meals here with friends, family and on my own over the last few years and I have always had a positive experience. It serves as the local waterig hole for moms with kids and anyone in search of free wi-fi and good food! If are local or live in the South London area  and have not stopped by please do!

About LWS Charity- At LWS we are committed and dedicated to helping women who are or have been victims of domestic violence, move on and improve their lives. We help them to determine their own future and offer the support needed to achieve this through counselling and our various supportive and empowering workshops.

When one of my paintings are sold almost a third of sale go to the charity to support their purpose. So you get a beautiful original painting from a local artist, while supporting a very worthwhile cause!

Best wishes

Affordable Art- Rewind

My Artist Open House has been a success. The day has come and gone and I am truly exhausted, I had been working non stop for a month to make the day a success and ensure everyone had a lovely time and it paid off. The feedback was very positive and all those who attended walked away with something handmade and unique. 

 I wanted to share these photos of my paintings with you. I would love to hear your feedback but for now I must bake a cake for my daughter who turns 7 tomorrow.
