Serjent in Postcard exhibition
1/12/2009
Along with over sixty other visual artists, including Rolf
Harris!, I am exhibiting at the 'Pre-paid 2009' exhibition,
taking place at the Cornerstone Gallery, based in the Liverpool
Hope University campus in Everton.
Following the success of last year's event they are staging
another exhibition and blind auction of small donated artworks
on postcard by artists from Liverpool and beyond. Once again
the proceeds will be donated to The Artists' Benevolent Institution.
The works can be viewed at www.hope.ac.uk/cornerstonegallery/postcards2009
until 4pm on Wednesday 9 December.
On that date the gallery opens with refreshments and a blind
auction, hosted by Paul O'Keefe, starting at 6-30pm, which
will provide visitors the opportunity for them to bid for
those works they are interested in.

Busy year for Wendy 26/11/2009
2009 was a busy and productive year. I was involved in Three
SOUP exhibitions - at The Citadel, St. Helens, View Two and
Novas CUC both in Liverpool. In other mixed shows - I exhibited
my work in the Red Dot exhibition 'Waste into Art', Wirral
Spring Exhibition, Williamson Art Gallery, 'Pink and Blue'
at Novas, and the West Lancashire Open at the Chapel Gallery,
Ormskirk. My work was chosen from Southport's Atkinson Art
Gallery collection, for their recent exhibition 'A Modern
View'.
Further afield, I was involved in the Coast Festival, in Aberdeenshire
earlier in the year.
I am presently in the Editions
Open exhibition.
The environment agency commissioned me to produce penguin
a design based on waste materials. I created my penguin by
knitting a skin out of discarded carrier bags. It will be
on display at the Capital building, Old Hall St: www.gopenguins.co.uk/site/news.php
During 2010, I will be exhibiting at Metal, and at The
Gallery Liverpool.
