Secret Artist, Museum in the Park, Stroud

Just about to deliver my postcard sized artwork to the Museum in the Park in Stratford Park, Stroud for the Secret Artist Project. It should be a really exciting display of work which will be on show this week-end at the Museum from 11.00 each day. I know several other artists who have donated their work and am really looking forward to going along.
The idea is that you buy a ticket for £15 and you will be allocated a secret number and that will be matched up with one of the pieces of work at the end of the exhibition, but you don't know which you are getting until then! A bit like Secret Santa!!

Can't show my piece of work here ...because it's a secret of course!

Beautifully framed prints of my stamp collage ships











I recently had an order for these three prints to be framed with the relevant verses of the poem Cargoes by John Masefield incorporated in each mount. The three ships are the Quinquireme of Nineveh, the Stately Spanish Galleon and the Dirty British Coaster. Lesley Young has done an excellent job with the framing! These stamp collage prints and cards continue to be very popular and are travelling far and wide. One has gone to the vast harbour of Singapore, others to Manchester docks! They can also currently be seen in Beechwood Shopping centre in the Artshape Artshop, open until 24th Decemeber from Tuesday to Saturday each week.
