For me the art comes alive when it lives through the eyes of other people, when they bring their stories to it. On Tuesday the 27th November I led an art discussion with several artists, in the current Artists Network Alpujarra group show that I'm participating in. Upstairs at the old town hall, Órgiva, from [...]

The centre of our town was closed off to traffic and instead was full of temporary bars, stalls and a large stage for performances. This Expo Nazari fiesta is on every other year and is a great excuse for a get together. It is a celebration of Vélez de Benaudalla's Moorish roots. I participated by [...]
Here are two audio recordings that you can download and listen to as podcasts - artists critique my paintings. I recommend you listen to them whilst looking at a picture of the painting being discussed. This is from an exhibition I participated in, along side 22 other international artists from my art group, ANA (Artists’ [...]
It was so exciting to walk into the exhibition and everything to be a surprise because I had not been part of the set up. I know all the artists and seeing their creative outpourings was over powering. I gave a speech as Chair of ANA and suggested people come back when it is less [...]

This video is an edit of all the aerial drawing club clips, performed by Myriada – Art in Movement. The event took place at La Fábrica Azucarera Nuestra Señora del Pilar, Motril. It was part of an art exhibition of 50 artists organised by me, Emma Plunkett in aid of Acompalia.org. Three aerial artists, Tessa Cardona, [...]
This was the best event I have ever organised. Classical music, with aerial artists and tons of art, all in stunning architecture. I want to do more events in this style. The Chamber Players added a really beautiful soundtrack to the proceedings with Nick Tasker on his home made harpsichord, two violinist and a flutist. [...]
