I was incredibly honoured to have been awarded a residency at the Women's Studio Workshop in New York State this autumn. To prepare for this I divided my time this year between painting and improving my print practice at the Edinburgh Printmakers Workshop. I started working there in February and there are now some of my prints in stock at the shop. The residency was just fabulous, a real priviedge to be able to spend time solely focussing on my work and meet so many lovely people. I was able to find a direction whilst I was there and am looking forward to being able to work on some new prints in the coming year.
