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.
You can find more infomation on the goat trail on their website.
Another trail is planned for 2023.

Energy Flash – Guernsey Arts Commission Open Exhibition 2020
Energy flash was exhibited as part of Guernsey Art Network’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.
