In January I made a second visit to the Chelsea Physic Gardens in London. The garden is 350 years old and one of the oldest walled Apothecary gardens in the country.
The day we visited was the first opening day of the year and absolutely freezing. A layer of ice covered most of the plants with snowdrops pushing through the soil and an ancient pomegranate tree sparkled like forgotten christmas decorations against a terracotta wall.
although we didn't stay long because of the cold and icy fingers i managed some sketches and seed of an idea was planted.

Mind , body connection
Endless possibilities
The start of a new year brings with it the possibilities of potential.
This January I am taking time to pause and reflect, instead of rushing into my usual to-do and self improvement mode only to hit a brick wall late February.

St Michaels Mount
Churn Art, Cornwall Hospice
My churn in the dairy of St Michael's MountDuring the summer of 2022 I exhibited a painted milk churn on the beautiful St Michael's Mount. The churn was part of a charity helping to raise money for Cornwall hospice, over 70 artists were asked to decorate the churns and displayed all over cornwall. I was privileged to exhibit my churn in the Dairy on St Michaels mount during the long hnot summer. In September the churns were auctioned in Truro Cathedral and raised over £50,000.
