It's been a very chilly start to the New Year, but I have managed to keep warm beavering away on a new body of work! Next week I will be showing these pieces at the Pop-Up exhibition Something Old, Something New with Flow Gallery. It will be running from the 23rd February until 5th March, and I hope the promise of milder weather will tempt you along to visit!

The show is at the collector Preston Fitzgerald's house, 7 Wetherby Gardens, SW5 0JN, please find the details below. As the exhibition will be shown within the collector's home can I ask you to RSVP to Flow Gallery either by email: - info@flowgallery.co.uk or telephone 020 7243 0782 if you intend to visit.

I hope to see you there.

Best wishes,

Caren
