After taking part in the collective nouns project I joined the Hoot and Roar Collective with the Owl and Lion Gallery.
As a collective we will share a huge stall space during the 3D2D craft and design fair, which is part of the Edinburgh Festival.As part of the work process towards the festival, every artist is presenting work in a window showcase at Owl and Lion. In the second week of June, it was mine and fellow artist Cherith's turn. Cherith presented lots of beautiful design objects and prints, and I displayed my screenprints.

In May I took part in a project called Collective Nouns, run by the West Port Book Festival and the Owl and Lion Gallery in Edinburgh. The task was to illustrate collective nouns, which have been collected by the online project
a linguistic experiment on All-Sorts.org.
The collective noun I chose was "A Round of Robins", of course, as I love drawing birds!All illustrations are available as screen prints at the Owl and Lion Gallery and you can find more info on the following link:

Here a drawing from my sketchbook I have done during my time off at home in Germany.

In March I did some illustrations for the magazine Brikolage based on the theme childhood. The magazine also published an article about my work in the same issue.
For the illustrations I was using water colour and ink pens. I'm not too much into using paint or a lot of colour, but I really enjoy using simple washes mixed with line work.
