Another piece that has been sent off to get framed!

This has been hanging in our halfway for a while now so it’s nice that’s it’s getting a bit of a revamp & new lease of life!

Shape shapes shapes!!!

Stage 2 of this colourful shape piece using my new pens!

Two things I love - shapes & colours

Close up on a piece I’ve been working on with my new pens!

Was so inspired seeing all the incredible artwork at this weekend that I finally bought some pens! Already learnt so much from just watching all the artists, big shout out to everyone who took part!

How I haven’t used posca pens before is an absolute shock! Another material added to my mixed media roster.

Also sooooo happy to be able to be back in the garden creating artwork!

That golden hour glow really shows the texture on this one! Also managed to match my outfit with this piece too, unintentionally. I guess it’s a pink n blue day today 🌸🦕

Feels good to be back in the office with the sun shining through the window!

I love keeping this piece up on the easel at it matches the warm but fresh feeling of my studio/office space. It also gets to make an appearance in the back of my zoom calls, which has been the topic of many conversations.

If anything, this is an appreciation post for this piece and all the crazy layers, mark making and techniques I got to use on it. Swipe for a close up!

Red for V day?
Nothing but love for my old blue vintage type writer. Bought as a gift to myself last year, I don’t get to use it often but when I do it’s fantastic! It has a special place on my desk ❤️

Anyone want to be my pen pal? Or I guess type pal?

This road was actually one that I drew back in 2020 when I first moved to Bristol. I didn’t really have a particular style, I didn’t know what I was really into and I was just drawing what inspired me. The original drawing of this road is actually a rainbow coloured piece in oil pastel that I love dearly.

Re-visiting this road now in 2022, it’s fun to see how my style has changed, progressed, evolved and I’m really enjoying combining my colourful abstract work with my more detailed pen work.

This isn’t finished yet but I’m definitely getting there.

04/02/2022

More colourful shapes & matchboxes! Whilst I’m working on finishing off my new pen drawings (thanks for the kind feedback on my last post), here are some other pieces that are in the works.

Sometimes I worry that my pieces don’t all make sense together, but visiting the last week, and seeing ‘s installment especially, I realised that it’s more about a bigger collection as opposed to comparing two individual pieces.

Although I don’t have the space to see everything in a collection, things are starting to piece together in my head. Fingers crossed at some point I’ll be able to share that vision!

02/02/2022

Something slightly different - I’m working on combining my love for colours, freeform and texture with my love of cityscapes and lines.

Im interested in the weird relationship we have between wanting to work hard, sometimes too much and also creating spaces for us to flourish creatively whilst allocating time to recharge. It’s something I always have to consider and it’s something I am exploring in my work this year. How can we balance both?

Work in progress - Street in Helsinki

More shapes & my garden fence!

Match boxes seems to be a new regular feature in a lot of my pieces. I love the way they look but I’m not going to lie they’re a pain to paint on top of!

Next up: trying out primers, wall filler and other layering techniques to make the match boxes more manageable! The shiny surface is a killer.

31/01/2022

New colours & new shapes! Still a work in progress but I’m enjoying the vibrancy a lot 🌞

Wall filler, watercolour, acrylic, pencil, oil pastel - the whole lot.

I’ve also been told this looks like a fork, a vi****or and a gene, so take from it what you will 😂

When the sun breaks through the clouds so you take the opportunity to snap a pic of a WIP! Hope you enjoy my socks & sliders combo xo

After bidding on eBay and winning over 500 old match boxes (I didn’t think I’d win them all but I’m glad I did) - I am finding fun ways to integrate them. Next plan is to secure them to two massive canvases I got for our living room and paint some big shapes in neutrals and blues.

‘Exploring Malago’
A3, oil pastels.

Summer 2020 I spent my time exploring Bristol and making it my home, this year I will be doing the same but in Bologna, Italy!

If you haven’t heard me drop it into conversation yet, then this is the news! I will be spending 50% of my time in the UK and 50% in Bologna. We’ve booked the coolest flat with many windows to look at terracotta coloured roofs and I have already bought many travel sketchbooks to trial.

Can anyone recommend some galleries or places to draw?

I’ve been exploring match boxes as a base material. Stuck on Khadi cotton rag paper, using some new shapes!

For the start of this year I’m taking a time out from hanging and selling new pieces of artwork. I want to think about who I am as an artist, what things excite me and explore shapes and materials.

When selling your artwork it’s so easy to get in your head about presenting things in the right way or leaning into styles or colours you think people might prefer. I want to prevent myself from falling into this mindset and take the time to explore what I what I enjoy, share it in this space I have created and *only* sell it when I have finished a particular series/ set of designs.

Here’s a short video of me doing one of my pen drawings back in November! This lil pic is the view of the gorge from Clifton Suspension Bridge and now belongs to @tomhodgkinson2 ❤️🌉 #pendrawing #timelapse #clifton #gorge #bristolart

Getting that golden hour glow as I paint in my holiday sketchbook 🌞 Left to right: sitting by the fire pit in the evening, playing badminton with the wonky rackets, seeing a peacock at the cafe and Gerald in a Christmas jumper (sneak peak for my Christmas cards coming out) #bristol #bristolart #bristolartist #travelsketchbook #peacock #watercolour

First go at creating something like this, started off as a test run to work out how to do it but I thought it was worth sharing to show my journey 🌸always looking to try new things and learn new skills - already have ideas for the next one! #bristolartist #bristolart #gif #flowergif #bristolgif

I am challenging myself to create 10 pieces of artwork using only second hand and recycled materials in September. Be sure to give my instagram account (@cam.iona.art) a follow as I will be documenting the process over there. I will be posting the finished pieces here on facebook and on my instagram. The point of this challenge is to see how accessible second hand art resources are, hopefully finding that it's easier than you think and therefore implementing it in my art more often. Also, this challenge will be a fun way to remind myself of how art can be innovative and expressive in many different ways. If you want to follow along and create some upcycled art of your own tag me in your posts and use the hashtag #reusefor10

Here is a little teaser for something that I have been working on recently. This is the largest commission that I have worked on to date and is A1 size (59cm x 84cm)!! Finished photos coming soon... Do you know what flowers these are? I am 'out of studio' at the moment and will be unavailable to make or ship orders out until the 9th August. However, that said, in the mean time I am available to chat so if you had any ideas feel free to drop me a message.
