New Faces of Spring Fling 2015

Since moving to Dumfriesshire in November 2013, I have bought every issue of Dumfries and Galloway Life that has been on sale. Reading the magazine is a wonderful way of finding out about everything happening in the region, especially for us newbies to the area.

Another great thing about living in this region is Spring Fling, Scotland's Premier Art and Craft Open Studios Event and in the latest issue of D&G Life, (April 2015) on page 92-94 there is a lovely introduction to the new faces of Spring Fling. See if you can spot the photograph Fragile Nature, as I am one of the new artists selected to take part. I'm over the moon!

Preparations are underway to make sure everything is ready and I'm looking forward to throwing open the studio doors and welcoming visitors. 

Please save the dates...23-25th May 2015. 

More details about Spring Fling 2015 and all the artists taking part here.

Commission

Excited to share news that a book entitled 'A Scion of Heroes' is about to be published on 6 March 2015. Author Stuart James McCulloch very kindly commissioned me to design the front cover for the book and this has to be one of the most interesting and satisfying commissions I've received so far. 

The new book is all about the life of Captain James Murray and the interesting story motivated and inspired me to create the cover below.

For more information about the book and how to order copies through the Author, please see below...

This fast-moving narrative, brings to life the extraordinary tale of a young man from New Abbey, South West Scotland.

The tale travels from the American Revolutionary War via Scotland and Canada. It moves on to the remarkable events in his life as a naval officer in the fight against the tyranny of Napoleon. It ends with drama and scandal in the Scottish Highlands.
