Artist Residency - Lunar New Year

It was an honour to be chosen to have a solo exhibition and residency for the entire month of February!
A super-productive time - I practically moved my entire studio* to the Riverfront main gallery space.
I led 2 painting workshops and developed new work on the lunar new moon theme.  During my residency, the workshops focussed on different painting techniques and the art of letting go within play.
As adults, we forget to play. It's an important part of developing ourselves personally and artistically. Einstein once said that play is important research.
I have recently moved back to my usual studio and I miss the interactions with people - and the space of course.

*Paintings shown were my abstract landscape series 'Annwn'

I've uploaded some walk-throughs to my instagram @artings_and_inklings so please take a look there too!

This is a work in progress. It's about the new moon - and particularly a pink one.
This moon signifies resilience and transformation, reminding us that even after the toughest seasons, we can all begin anew. As the warmth of spring comes, the pink moon encourages us to embrace new possibilities, emotional growth, and creative expression.
