The 100 Day Project

On the 22nd February I started The 100 Day Project - the aim being to post daily updates of my creative progress or inspirations. I'm keeping up so far but it's only the first week!
There's a lot going on for me over that 100 days - completing work for the Prism 'Warped' show at The Art Pavilion, Mile End 20th April - 1st May, holidays to the Jurassic coast and the Hebrides and preparation for Surrey Artists' Open Studios over the first 3 weekends in Jun - so plenty to document.
Daily posting are on instagram @paulenecattle and facebook Paulene Cattle - Artist

A few photos from the first week:

 Moving On


Unbelievably it has been 3 years since my last post! And what a 3 years - a global pandemic, an unrelated personal bereavement, an extremely debilitating virus (but not THE virus) and the sale of our business which means now there's more time and headspace to concentrate on artwork.

In that time there has been some limited creativity and I've participated in several group exhibitions - 

Prism 'In Search of Possibilities' October 21 (postponed from May 20) and Prism 'Untold' April 22 both at The Art Pavilion, Mile End

TENartists 'Context' at Guildford Cathedral summer 21 and TENartists 'conneXion' at Denbies Wine Estate June 22
