A little note before the year ends
NYC, dogs, a brand new studio, and a big thank you ❤️



The new studio all ready for Christmas!
It’s been wonderful to take a proper break from work for a few days, eat a little too much, and collapse in front of some Christmas TV.
The last two months have been hectic - but also really exciting. November saw the opening of my solo show at Harman Projects in NYC. It was such a fantastic evening, so thank you so much if you made it along to see the show or picked up a copy of Dog Only Knows. I was signing books for over two hours and absolutely loved meeting you all (and your dogs!).

At the opening night, and signing the exclusive prints from Harman Editions.

Meeting some new friends at the show - it wasn’t all dogs!
While I was in NYC, I squeezed in a visit to Best Friends Animal Society New York to sign some books, do some sketching, and - most importantly - fall in love with all the dogs and cats! It’s a good job I live in a different country, or it would have been very hard not to adopt one of them.

I arrived home from the trip to find my new studio almost complete (it wasn’t there at all when I left!), which was beyond thrilling. All that remained were a few finishing touches, and then it was ready for me to move in. I’m still pinching myself - this is a dream I’ve had for so long, and suddenly here I am in my own dedicated studio, sipping a coffee and writing this mailer.

Working away in my dream studio!
We’re nearly at the end of the year - and what a year it’s been. We have big things planned for the new year, and I can’t wait to share them with you. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your support over the past year, and to wish you happiness and health in the year ahead.
Until next time ❤️
