It's like emerging from a long tunnel, you've been in it so long you've forgotten how the world felt warmer, happier, more positive, more alive until you suddenly emerge, blinking into the light, spirits lifted, ready for a brave new world. The future is bright. 

I joined the committee of York Open Studios as Events Manager in the summer and am enjoying working with the fantastic and dynamic people on the committee. Much of this week was spent tapping on the computer, firming up display plans for the York Open Studios Taster Event in April.
But I did get time to visit the Village Gallery to see my work which had just gone up, and have a chat with Simon, the gallery owner. I was really pleased to see these pieces in the window, the side-lighting highlighting the shadows hiding in the porcelain.
Please go and have a look, in addition to my work there are some great local artists work in a range of mediums.
​Village Gallery is in the city centre, opposite Barnitts on Colliergate, York.
