What next?

It's officially over now. Had my last tutorial this time last week, and graduations only 2 weeks away. It feels rather strange not to be in the studios, and not seeing the same faces every day. I also said goodbye the last of my sold Polaroid paintings; I did feel a little sad.

So, where do I go from here?

I've been selected for Making The Future 2010, Bonington Gallery, Nottingham. The exhibition brings together a range of works from recent graduates of NTU's School of Art & Design - Fine Art to Fashion to Photography - I'm very lucky to have been chosen. This also means that I'll get to see my paintings again, as I'll be taking them back on loan to exhibit. Making The Future opens in September, so I'll keep you updated on that.

I've also been commissioned by a couple of people to create new Polaroid paintings, and, even better, I've been invited to make work to be permanently displayed in the Newton/Arkwright University building.

Now, time to get out those paint brushes! But in the meantime, go take a look at Tim Gardner's work. They're watercolour paintings, and truly stunning.
