Mustard Cafe Pieces

My three pieces in the Mustard Cafe, Norwich, today.

Sold

Boutique Fusions has been open less than a month and already they have sold one of my paper cuts! 
'Do More of What Makes You Happy' is off to a new home!

New exhibition space in Norwich

Today a new department store opened in Norwich. 100% unique, Boutique Fusions sells "products and services offered by some of the best independent retailers in the UK."

It's not even on the high street, it's THAT special. I'm a big fan of Norwich Lanes. 

I'm really excited that I have the opportunity to show my work in their beautiful exhibition space at the top of the building. 

On display is my epic 'Space Bunnies' paper cut and my #3 'Do More of What Makes You Happy' paper cut in a floating frame. 

I'm very proud to be positioned next to an incredibly accomplished painter, Alexander Bell, whose seascape images really took my breath away. They are some of the most enjoyable paintings I've seen in a long time – I love their atmosphere. There's something captured in these paintings that gets flattened out and lost through photographic- and printing-processes. Something raw and honest combined with depth and mood. Absolutely stunning. To say I'm impressed is an understatement.   

Apple Tree Paper-cut SOLD

After a week of being exhibited in the Mustard Cafe Bar, my Apple Tree paper-cut SOLD!
I shall get busy on another piece to fill the space!

MASS paper cuts on display

Until the end of November 2013, my MASS paper cuts will be on display and available to buy at Mustard coffee bar in Norwich. 

Peer Art Group Open Submission Exhibition

16 Feb 2013, 12 noon – 10 p.m. (P.V. from 6 p.m.), at STEW Gallery, Norwich.

  

I exhibited several paper cuts and photographs.
My 'Do More of What Makes You Happy' paper cut was sold.

 

 

Sadly, not all of my work could be displayed. The public missed out on seeing my 'Apple Tree' cut and my 'Berlin' prints. However, since the exhibition my 'Berlin' prints were also sold.

  

Also exhibiting work was Nikki Simmons, a fellow paper cutter and graphic designer. You can find her blog here.

The private view was fun, with live music and alcohol.

  

One of my closest friends, Catherine, came along. She is an illustrator in her spare time and you can see her work here.

Also making an appearance were Bret & Tim, the duo behind one of my favourite pod casts, Bros & Cons.

Prep for Open Exhibition

I've framed my favourite paper cut and will be submitting it to the PEER Open Exhibition at the Stew Gallery in Norwich, Saturday 16 Feb 2013.

Some amazing things from Manchester

I can't post all the amazing things I saw in Manchester because there were just too many. These are the main highlights:
