Truly huge! About 3 1/2 metres long… Last week saw the launch of the mosaic Welcome project I facilitated with Wandsworth Social Services, here in South London. The pictures say it all….and there were lots of smiling little faces (not shown due to confidentiality, though you can see my little smiler who came along to […] Read more...
One fabulous launch and an amazing work of the heart
The Hospital Mosaic Project was launched last Thursday – unveiled by internationally renowned mosaic artist, Martin Cheek (photo left) and Philip Holmes (photo right) to reveal a wall of over 100 mosaics by artists from all around the world (including yours truly).

A season of ‘unveilings’
Well, friends, my April, May and June have been a busy old time, doing two community mosaic projects here in London. Now they are both complete and there is rather a lot of celebrating and ‘unveiling’ going on! Last weekend, the Mayor of Camden joined about 150 other people at the Sudanese Women’s Associationin Kilburn, […] Read more...
When art and community meet…pics and top tip!
You are never to young or old to make mosaics. And here is the proof. These are pictures from one of the mosaic community projects I have been running in the last two months (yes, I’ve been a busy bee).

Can’t wait to see the finished […] Read more...

And to this, I would like to warmly invite you! If you live far, far away, I will be having an online […] Read more...
London Mosaic Workshops & Exhibition…its all happening!
Apart from my dear family, ALL else except my mosaic world is being very neglected in the last few weeks (including writing and reading in blog land, I know I know). As soon as I get back from dropping the kids off at school, I close the front door, put my head down and walk […] Read more...
Steps on the creative path
I am noticing a sustained change in my feelings of being calm and in control of the monster ‘to do’ list since using the “capture list” idea for my work and home life. The other big change we are trying to make is in our eating habits. We are avoiding meat – especially red – […] Read more...
Pebble mosaics, guerilla art and flying lessons…
Phew…there is so much going on. All good stuff I hasten to add. Not sure if I’ve mentioned, but I am taking the beautiful Kelly Rae’s Flying Lessons of the creative kind ….an intensive 5 week e-course on growing your creative business. Thanks to my lovely class mates who have been popping by. I am […] Read more...
Community mosaics and commissions
I’m not sure I ever properly posted pictures of the beautiful, and very large community mosaic I was involved in making at our local parish of St. Anselm’s in Tooting Bec. We were in full flow making it this time last year in time for the church’s centenary. Well, here it is! We just got […] Read more...
