A mirrored leaf looking at viewer with brown-orange eyes with pupils. Arms seem to reach up.

Two elm leaves fusing in the middle against bright blue sky.

Two fused leaves with veins showing. There seems to be a pair of eyes at their leaf stems.

Four fused pairs of yellow-green, sunlit, duplicate leaves in a symmetrical constellation.

Childless Cat Ladies, egg tempera on panel, 20 x30 cm. Oct 2025
#painting #cat #flowers #funny #catladies #humour #stilllife #eggtempera #art #painting

Still life painting with many objects: an owl, a photo, a plate with a house—a gift, a book, a shell, a rose in a bud vase, a plate with a bird of paradise, an apple on another plate, a swan vase, a pear, an apple, a small ceramic bust, a faerie, perhaps, a cat, some dahlias and lot of colourful patterns!

Ego maniac alert! This wasn’t finished in time for my Barbican Library show (a load of stitched collages made from Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation book, lacking women artists). Photo of me by Michelle Richards from Alice Fisher‘s Observer article. The back is better than the front, obvs

My new sculpture ‘Love’ ~ Found chair and my own cut jeans merging together.
About gathering things to fill an emptiness, hoarding love through what we keep.
The shape almost settles into that of a woman,full, curved, resting & deeply human.

Tide Song by Laura Parker is available as part of 'Shadow and Shade', a virtual exhibition available on the BobCat Gallery website.

This is one of several pieces created with handmade washi paper, layering with paint, glazing and monoprinting that give subtle differences in tone, shape & texture...

It was lovely to catch up with Caroline Banks at her studio this week & plan exciting new adventures...

Caroline's work is full of energy - a subtle translation of movement & gesture onto canvas & paper, seemingly abstract forms that hold more than you think...

I love how each of these artists have captured the dappling of light through leaves in their own way 🌿

All part of my current virtual exhibition, Shadow and Shade, these artists bring to mind the Japanese word 'komorebi' - soft sunlight filtering through greenery...
