Golden Guernsey Goat Trail – 2021
This fabulous friend paid a visit to our studio to have her makeup done for the goat trail. She was adorned with jewel like colours and covered in hand drawn silver mandala motifs. A true labour of love.
Organised by the charity Autism Guernsey, our goat was sponsored by Ocorian and was on display with 51 other fibre glass goats around the island for the summer, before being auctioned off at St Pierre Park Hotel on 25th September.
Our goat was called Goatzart Bejulicully, named after our favourite elephant. She raised £1000 at auction for the charity.
The map of the trail and the quiz were available both on the Golden Guernsey Trail website and on their app.

COVID Blue – Colour Theory Essay
The state of not feeling quite right, but not quite being able to put your finger on the reason why. Not physically ill, not suffering any actual symptoms of anything that can be seen or treated in the traditional sense. Just feeling low – not depressed, not even anxious – just uncertain about the future. Feeling that the rug has been pulled out from under the feet. Whether or not the rug was actually blue.
Needing a dose of something incredibly vivid to shock the system into feeling itself again. Be more vivid – always a good stage direction.
Those delicious shades of blue that connect us to the sky – with no vapour trails – we all saw that sky this summer and marvelled at its clear expanse, feeling the benefit of those calming shades over our heads.
The piercing bright blue of light hitting the water at a certain angle – marvelling at its opaque expanse, feeling the benefit of those waves, whether we swam in them and felt the power of the negative ions or walked alongside them and heard the soothing sounds.
So, for COVID, blues, the antidote might actually be COVID blues, who knew?

Energy Flash – Guernsey Arts Commission Open Exhibition 2020
Energy flash was exhibited as part of Guernsey Art’s 2020 Open Exhibition in the George Crossan Gallery, this piece was exhibited alongside work from 60 other local artists of all different styles and mediums.
Anyone who has visited our studio will probably recognise this piece. It was created from the leftover paint from when we first moved into our house. Using rollers and our hands we created the painting using quick motions and a flash of energy with the brightest red!
Inspired by Mark Rothko and his abstract sunsets.
