Snow play and Finnish ice lamps…
Could this be our first ever white Christmas? It is snowing as I type. Our usually, dull, grey, damp London is looking like something out of a Dickensian novel… and we are loving it. All of us are now on holiday (yippee!) and I am finally catching up on the backlog that built up due […] Read more...
Online mosaic exhibition…just for you!
Photo’s can never do mosaics justice…its all about texture, touch and reflectivity and its hard to capture these elements in pictures. Nonetheless, here’s a snapshot (pardon the pun!) into my first solo exhibition which ran for two weeks and finished on December 11th. My ‘real’ visitors book is full of wonderful comments, a testament to […] Read more...

My Mosaic Exhibition in London…and online!

And to this, I would like to warmly invite you! If you live far, far away, I will be having an online […] Read more...
Your footprints in my soul…
A dear friend of mine is pregnant with her first baby and sent me her first scan pic the other day. Got me indulgently reminiscing, as one does, and flexing my other artistic muscle, the writing one, which is deep within me and goes back a long way. She will be five soon, I can’t […] Read more...
