Just a quick post to let the world know that Rosie McKenzie and I will be sharing an exhibition in November and December in her gallery RM Art. Rosie's work is fairly abstract landscape painting and I will be showing my current collection of cyanotype lace studies. Although heavily contrasting in subject matter both sets of work share the same range of blues in their colour palettes.

Dates times and other details will be along later.

My very first post!

I've just launched this blog as an experiment. It will be a bit more free form than my website www.madeleineshepherd.co.uk - though I'm not sure what direction it will take.

If you need a justification for that mixture then it reflects the variety of people in the exhibition as well as the development of my practice over many years. I've been taking photos of SF & F authors for about ten years with no real plan behind it. When we decided to have the exhibition it was a big job just finding all the potential candidates in the archive and picking out a representative selec

Hello again World!

It's been so long since I posted anything here that I think it's fitting to have a change of direction now.  From the beginning of this year there has been a lot going on personally, in the day job and in my studio practice. There's no way I'm going to try and write it all up here.  If you know me in real life you'll know at least some of what I'd write about.  If you don't know then it's OK  because this is the start of something slightly different anyway.  A few weeks ago I decided that my studio should have a name.  After a bit of thought and failed brainstorming I decided to use a name that Mike suggested ages ago, and so Plum and Pepper Studio was born. In the fullness of time there will be a revamped website , a Twitter feed , a Facebook page and a Folksy shop (sorry Etsy the dollat pricing puts me off). June and July should see the bulk of this work done and ready for Coburg House Art Studios Open Event over the first weekend in August.  If yo
