Jessica Zoob

A new horizon


Jessica Zoob creates paintings full of light, texture and emotion. In these short films she comes over as being a really joyful person.

Pamela Gaunt

Pamela Gaunt is one of my all time favourite artists.  I think her work speaks for itself.  She is a senior Lecturer at the Art Department, Curtin University, Western Australia.  Her work is beautiful, obsessive, intelligent, often working in multiple small pieces which create a much bigger installation  ... to be viewed from afar or in close-up.

Glyndwr University Degree Show 2010



I was checking through my photos the other day and came across some i took at the degree show in Wrexham last year.  These were the pick of the crop for me, and the 3d work was exceptional in its professional finish. Unfortunately I do not have the names of the artists, but as i track them down i will add their names.  Also the battery on my camera failed very quickly ... so there were many treasures and artwork that i was unable to capture on the day!

sunny days




After the glorious weekend we have just had (and I have very burnt cheeks to remind me!) i managed to take a few photographs with my phone.  We stayed in a beautiful little hotel, Castlemead Hotel, in Manorbier, Pembrokeshire.  To say that we had 'a room with a view' would be not doing the vista real justice. I grew up in the area and although many places have been developed since i left Manorbier is one of those tiny villages that time has let stand still.  It has a beautiful castle(although Pembroke Castle is certainly the most impressive in the area), a wonderful little church and a great bay.
