Pen and Ink


One of my favourite mediums in which to work is Pen and Ink. This is the drawing I did in 2006, and used for my Christmas Card for that year, and also for the Pen and Ink Forum Christmas Card Project.

Published in the International Porcelain Art Magazine.


I was delighted to have been invited to send photographs of my Porcelain Art Work to the US for Publication in the worldwide International Porcelain Art Teachers Magazine towards the end of 2006. This is a fine art magazine showcasing the best Porcelain Artists in the World. I have just received my copy of a double page spread of my work, published in the November/December Magazine, 2006. I have been advised that my Rose Photography is to be published in this same Magazine in March/April -- can't wait!!


I am awfully disappointed in the clarity that has been lost in the scans though, as both pages in the Magazine are so rich and beautiful in colour, but these scans leave a lot to be desired.
All of these designs were done with a variety of techniques, and a lot of kiln firings. With the All-over Floral 12" Vase and 12" Plate, the entire design is outlined in Liquid Bright Gold with a Dip Pen.

Blue and White Technical Design on various shaped articles of Porcelain. All started out as plain white Blanks, and I penned the designs on, and then covered the entire designs with Enamel Pointillism.

Art Trading Cards






Art Trading Cards

I am taking part in an Art Card Project in the Miniature Forum of WC at the moment, and have been having the time of my life painting and penning all of the little cards -- each one has to be 3.5"x2.5", and can be in any media of ones choice and any choice of subject. There are 27 artists in the Project, and we all send a card to each person, which means sending 26 and receiving 26 of these little gems.

These are the cards I have painted/penned so far and sent off to their new homes. They have been done in Acrylics and Watercolours, with Pen and Ink on some.
