Fishink Reminders Mark Hearld, Angie Lewin, Emily Sutton, Mary Fedden and David Weidman

There is so much happening right now featuring my favourite artists that I must just tell you about a few events that are either going on now, or coming up, before the end of the year. Initially I want to say a late congratulation to Mark Hearld who was one of the award winners for the British Design Awards earlier this month presented by the Telegraph Magazine incollaboration with Elle Decoration. The award was for his Wallpaper design ‘Harvest Hare’ available from St Judes Gallery and ironically, I had chosen it to paper my living room a week before it won, I hope there will be some left !

There’s some lovely co-ordinated fabrics in the same design coming out soon to accompany the wallpaper. Both available from St Judes at the link above.

Mark is also featured in an exhibition “Birds and Beasts ” starting this saturday at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The exhibition opens at Yorkshire Sculpture Park near Wakefield on 17 November 2012 and runs until 17 February 2013.  You can meet Mark on Saturday at 2pm as he signs copies of new monograph Mark Hearld’s Work Book (priced £30) published by Merrell Publishers and showcasing Mark’s unstoppable creativity with delightful images and revealing insights into the techniques behind them. There will be hand painted pigeons, illustrations and prints galore, well worth a visit.

Secondly there is a Christmas Exhibition featuring the work of Angie Lewin, Emily Sutton and John Maltby at Godfrey and Watt in Harrogate. The exhibition will be open each day from Saturday 24th November until Sunday 2nd December 12 – 4pm and you can join Angie and Emily for Mince Pies and Mulled Wine there on Friday 23rd Nov between 7 – 9pm. Angie will be featuring some of her new watercolours and prints as seen below.

Emily will also have some new work to show and sell.

In December (4 Dec 2012 – 21 Dec 2012), London’s Portland Gallery has an exhibition organised as a tribute to Mary Fedden (1915-2012). Mary brought joy to so many through her art and this exhibition will celebrate her life and work. Over 60 paintings that span six decades of her career will be on view.

And last but not least …

American artist David Weidman has released two sets of Note cards.
