my first exhibition

So right now two of my pieces from HNC are being exhibited! I am extremely excited about this as it is the first time my work has been shown outside of college. It is being shown along side many other local artists' work in The Social on South Tay Street in Dundee and is running until the end of Wednesday 23rd of January.

The exhibition was organised and created by my sister, Nicola Coupe, who graduated from DJCAD in June. This is the first exhibition that she alone has put together and I am really pleased for her! So if anyone is in town and would like to have a look please come on down!
This collection of work was based on ripples. And here are some photos..

This piece is made from paper and was achieved by using a batik wax technique and bleach

 This is a textile piece and was achieved by using two layers, both with a batik wax technique along with dyes, cut outs and suspended pieces below.

So what do you think? Give me your thoughts!

The Professional Photos

So here are the professional photos that were taken on my holiday...
Let me know what you think:)
The top 4 are of my sister, Nicola, and I. The rest are of myself and my long-term boyfriend, Dale. I personally edited the last photograph myself.

Nicola Coupe

So again at DJCAD Degree Show I saw another person who was dressed rather nice.. my sister!

name: Nicola

age: 24

occupation: Graduate of Fine Art

favourite shop: New Look

inspiration behind stye: Rock/Hippy Glam!

Well Nicola often is rather rocky, but on Friday she looked to her hippy/girly side and came out in this gorgeous floral number! The dress, with the shorter front than back, is so on trend and it looks totally fab! The floral print was a nice soft one, so it isnt overwelming like some prints. The little black shoes and jacket make the outfit a little more sophisticated and the red bag is keeping with the colour of the flowers. Nice!

Below are some photographs of Nicolas degree show work...



The work includes drawings using graphite, photographs and her painted triptic!
