Hello lovely Peeps, I hope this post finds you all well in these strange, scary & surreal times? I know it is hard to comprehend what is going on in the world and many are finding it utterly impossible to get their heads around the current situation, let alone find their creative mojos. I have […]
Migglet News
It’s a feeling and it simply takes over.
How do you describe the feeling when creating art? I honestly don’t know. I could babble on with oodles of adjectives and arty farty waffle but it simply IS a feeling and it comes in waves, whether they may be joyful waves or melancholy thoughts, art is always an emotional and very personal journey. There […]

Painting of a Dancer Commission on Canvas
I am just back from yet another fabulous Autumn road trip with my marvellous HIM touring Portugal and Spain in our motorhome Rodney and I am slowly but surely settling back in to normal life, whatever ‘normal’ is?! I tried to work on writing this piece whilst we were away but the connections were often […]
Graffiti in Teignmouth
Banksy shmanksy, it’s Miggsy’s Graffiti! 🤣 Graffiti in Teignmouth by Migglet?! Now that WAS a first for me!! 😃 It is a few weeks now since I finally managed to paint my very first graffiti / street art painting of a loopy vibrant Fish on the wall outside Sam’s super shop Voyage Fairtrade in the […]
August 2019 Exhibitions & what a marvellous month of May that was!
My Solo Exhibition in Teignmouth really was THE biggest ‘Colour me Happy’ ‘Show and Tell’ imaginable! What a happy month of May that was for a Migglet! I have been such a busy bee since, it has taken me until now to publish this newsletter from May, just crazy! Forgive me for being so slow! […]
Migglet’s First Solo Exhibition is looming FAST! May 4th – 10th Eeek!
As in true Star Wars tradition, ‘May the 4th‘ be with you! 🤣 The truth is, I am seeing ‘stars’ and having little ‘wars’ inside my head with all the planning and thinking involved with my Solo Exhibition! I have never been one for planning….or even thinking! I am……well, sort of…..trying to enjoy the experience, but […]
Spring has sprung!
Brag alert! A very surprised Migglet was delighted and overwhelmed to be awarded The Hall Trophy for the ‘Best Painting in Show’ at the Spanish Barn, Torre Abbey Exhibition in Torquay, what a wonderful boost that was towards the beginning of the year!

Unfinished business, a birthday surprise, Zebedee and shoooooooooooes!
A FRIGHTFULLY BUSY SUMMER….. When we returned home from our 4 month long motorhome trip across Spain in early June (by the way, our motorhome is called Rodney, aka Rodders) I felt totally focussed and incredibly inspired to paint more and more dancers, the bigger the better! I was on such a roll and after […]
Dancer Commission – my largest painting to date!
What an exciting Dancer Commission on Canvas this was! Daunting? Yes! Could I do it justice? Yes! No! Yes! I think so?! I hope so?!! Eeeeek! Arrrrrrrgggghhhhh! (Technical arty terms you may or may not have heard before!) A great friend had always admired one of my watercolour paintings of a dancer, titled ‘All That […]
Soft Pastels – The Uppers and Downers of being addicted
Although I trust him implicitly, I am always extremely nervous when handing my Soft Pastels & Charcoal Drawings to my printer to be scanned because of the potential to smudge them. Without wishing to sound like a big blousy drama queen, the smallest of smudges could ‘kill’ the facial expression on one of my portraits […]

‘Soulful’ – New Artwork by Migglet
This Charcoal Drawing, titled ‘Soulful’ is the latest Artwork to feature in my ‘Stylised Portraits’ category. Some titles come to me really quickly when painting and drawing but at other times I can literally agonise over choosing just the right one. (More on the subject of troublesome titles in a future post!) I probably ought […]
