I have worked my lady balls off!
A grand mix of commissions, projects, sales, experiments, and randomness. I have created an art trail in Shildon that uses cyanotype photography to explore the heritage of the women in the area.
I have done 6 exhibitions. 2 creative markets. I’ve taught around 300 people. I have reached 25,000 people through my blog, and probably the same again on my YouTube. I had a film screened.
I decided my novel (8 years in the making) was bollocks. My cat died. Family members got ill.
My sister got married. I bought shed loads of photography books. I made approximately 5,000 photos and artworks. I survived another jaunt around the sun. Fibromyalgia is still whack. Erm… that’s probably enough.
I wish all my readers and supporters the very best for 2023. Now, it must be 5pm somewhere…
Peace and joy to y’all!
