New work in a new space

Visited Bridget Rogers at Down to Earth Gallery in Whitchurch on Saturday to take some new pictures including the Theatre Severn drawings. Having moved sideways into a new ground floor unit and taken on a new upstairs gallery Down to Earth now has loads of natural light and good display areas - it's always really interesting to see different gallerists ideas of how to show work and Bridget and Phil's creative minds come out in their use of the available space. my drawings will be there until 9th May in the upstairs gallery. See more of these drawings on my own website.


My artist friends who form the group Severn8 have a show Personal Statements at the Hive Gallery at Belmont arts centre from 17th April - 22nd May. This is a group who met at Shrewsbury College of Art and continue to work and show together - it's a mixed bag of work ranging from abstract to portraits with mixed media and photography inbetween, worth a look if you happen upon Shrewsbury during this time.


With the weather being so amazing, the bright spring light is almost too much for my digital camera to cope with but it is still at hand most of the time. On our journey through Shropshire countryside yesterday my stop-start-leaning-out-of-the- window to get the elusive shot of a pheasant or just-right sprig of blossom was coined as 'danger-photography' by my daughter. Dangerous on single-track roads it may have been but when else do you get such gift pictures of dust-laden April skies and boingy little lambs?
