Excited to announce that this year I have been supported by Spring Fling through their Young Artist Bursary programme, have a look at my Spring Fling profile online here. The Open Studios event might not be till May, which you could be mistaken for thinking is ages away, but is probably countable in weeks… I have been paired up with mentor Isabell Buenz for the next few months which is already proving an exciting learning experience, but more on that to come!

In the meantime, Gracefield Arts Centre in Dumfries is showcasing the work of some of this and previous year’s supported Young Artists, and runs from the 28th of February to the 4th of April in Gallery 1. To get the first glimpse of the exhibition, make sure and come to the opening from 2 – 4pm on Saturday the 28th February.
