Papergirl Leeds

I am currently exhibiting a couple of my works on paper at the Papergirl exhibition in Leeds:

"Papergirl Leeds is a radical, non-commercial art project which hails from the sister project Papergirl Berlin. Originally a response to changing laws in regards to street art, Papergirl represents the art of giving art through an open call for submissions, an exhibition and the distribution of artwork via a critical mass of cyclists.'"

The exhibition will be taking place between 24th - 28th April at High Court, The Calls, Leeds, LS2 7ST from 11am - 5 pm.

When the exhibition closes, each artwork will be rolled up and distributed on bicycles to passers-by.

For further information about the Papergirl project please visit: http://papergirlleeds.tumblr.com

Saatchi Competition

My painting "Untitled" has advanced to the second stage of the Saatchi abstract art competition. The winner of the showdown will receive a cash price, and have their work showcased at the Saatchi gallery in London.
