Shortly after leaving Uni my work, which was then domestic earthenware but very playful with Poppies and Daisies, was picked up by this lovely gallery in Ealing, London. For several years they sold my teapots and martini cups, and now they have taken a collection of my sculptures and put them on show in their windows.

There are two sorts of gallery owners, those who charge a high commision and leave your work in a corner of the gallery, and those who take an interest in you as the artist, love the work, and enjoy selling it for you, Brian and Melanie at For Arts Sake fall into the latter category. They have a good range of Originals, Prints and Ceramics in their showroom, so if you find yourself in this part of London why not pay them a visit, or check out their website

Later this week I met another lovely person and this was Pauline McBride at Sussex Prairie Gardens.

In a few short years she has created, along with her husband Paul, the most spectacular Prairie gardens near Henfield in Sussex. I went along with Si Uwins, who makes wood sculptures with a similar theme to mine, to have a walk around the gardens,
and to plan a sculpture trail for this summer.

There are already some sculptures up there,

and there are some great places to sit and enjoy the view,
The gardens are framed by the South Downs and are just a perfect place to while away a summer day.
I will be setting up my sculptures in a couple of weeks time, and will post some more pictures then.
