Exhibiting

Over the past year I have had a few opportunities to exhibit my art work but they have all fallen through for various reasons. The last time I was geared up to exhibit and promote my artwork the venue decided that they were not going to do this anymore (it was a well known pub in London that exhibited artwork on a monthly basis). So I kind of gave up.

I was contacted this week by the local council inviting the art group (which has sadly disbanded) into exhibiting in the foyer of their local theatre which has a good footflow. It's all in talks at the moment as this is a new initiative for them, but regardless whether they choose to go ahead or not I have decided that I will find somewhere to exhibit my work - art and photography. It's a step I have wanted to take for a while now and it's about time I did.

This does mean that I have to create lots of paintings and take lots of photo's- such a hard life!

Stormtroopers in Stilettos

Freddie's Hendrix

Yesterday, lovely Jim and I (in celebration of his birthday) traveled up town into Brick Lane, the East End of London to see a fantastic exhibition called Stormtroopers in Stilettos. This is a retrospective exhibition celebrating the formation of Queen's first five albums in time for their 40th anniversary.

It was a free exhibition and is well worth a look. On the opening day last weekend they were queuing round the block to see it, and The Truman Brewery where it is being held were overwhelmed by the response.

Jim and I ended up chatting to the project manager there and apparently Freddie's mum stayed for the whole five hours of the opening night and thought Freddie would have loved the exhibition. Imagine that!

It's on in London until the 12th March then I believe it is headed for Germany, Japan and Belgium to name a few places so if you are able to visit, I'd highly recommend it. Above is one of three photo's I took before my iPhone battery decided to die on me (they were more than happy for you to take pictures!)

Off now to listen to some Queen and to be creative.

Have a good evening! xx
