Throughout February - July 2012, I will be the artist in residence at the Artist Residence; Brighton's most unique hotel.
The hotel is located on the divine Regency Square, over looking my favourite British landmark, the skeleton of the West Pier.
Each room is designed and created by a wide selection of creatives, and the gallery exhibits work by both up and coming and established artists. There is also an AR hotel in Cornwall, and soon, London.
Meanwhile, there are plans afoot to expand the Brighton establishment into the hotel next door, which is currently uninhabited.
You can read more about the hotel here:

What I have planned:
At the end of my residency, I will have a solo exhibition of my work. You can keep up to date with my progress on my blog.
As well as working in a studio here full-time, I will be running and creating regular drawing events open to all, beginning with 'Different ways of seeing', starting on the 3rd March.
These will include everything from life drawing and talks, performances and beyond, geared towards simply seeing the world around us in a different way.
'Different ways of seeing' timetable.
