Clothed figure in oils
Sneaky little early morning escape to Insight School of Art for a fast-paced workshop with Estelle Lovatt and fabulous model Lena.
Just what the doctor ordered and lovely to be working in oils again. 👌

Super excited to be showing with Jean-Luc Almond in a couple of weeks. TRACE is an exhibition of paintings and drawings from 10-21 March at The Basement at Bunyan exhibition space, Mill Street, Bedford. This is our second exhibition together which embraces two different approaches to figurative art but with similar underlying themes. Through my bold use of mixed media and Jean-Luc’s impasto techniques with oil, our work is united by our fascination with materials and how through layering it creates traces of history and process within their art which celebrate the unique characteristics of the mediums.
The exhibition runs 10-21 March 2020. PV / Tuesday 10 March 6.30-8.30pm.
All welcome, please do join us. PV RSVP fiona@fromthebalcony.uk

Nadine / Book Cover
Author John Steinberg commissioned us to create cover designs that hint at the narrative and key relationships in the book, yet with a sensitivity and fragility.
I love a Balcony project where we have the opportunity to start with the handmade and combine our art and design disciplines.
Author John Steinberg commissioned us to create cover designs that hint at the narrative and key relationships in the book, yet with a sensitivity and fragility. Set in the glamorous world of musical theatre and dance of Broadway and the West End, Nadine is a poignant story of unrequited love, with a twist.
