Charity Shop Orphans Stolen!


Two of our orphans are missing! I was really shocked to hear that two of my Charity Shop Orphans - specifically Enid Black and Paul Rand - had been stolen from a gallery in Kent. I've never had a piece of art stolen before and I feel very disappointed and sad that someone would do that... if you see a small white cat or orange spaniel in the shapes outlined above please get in touch!

Kaleidoscope Exhibition :: Kalos

I will be exhibiting several Charity Shop Orphans in this exhibition...

In 2010 the Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope Gallery hosts a series of exhibitions reflecting on the venue’s name – Kalos (Beauty), Eidos (Form) and Scopos (The Watcher).

Kalos is the first in this series of exhibitions, exploring the place of ‘beauty’ in contemporary art. Artists from across Kent were invited to submit works that address beauty, aspire to be beautiful, comment on the pursuit of beauty, or consider the notion of beauty.

Exhibiting artists: Alexander MacKenzie, Anette Bjorholm, Anthony Heywood, Bradley Starkey, Dawn Badland, Emma Harding, Gemma Fairhead, Katy Norton, Lyndsay Connors, Marinda Hudson, Niki Campbell and Nikitas Almpanis.

The exhibition is free to visitors and runs from April 16th – June 3rd


The gallery sits alongside the library and museum within the Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope building. The Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope Gallery is run by Kent County Council to show new work from established and emerging Kent artists. Supported by Arts Council England.

We're very excited as we're putting together a lovely illustrated book about the orphans. If all goes to plan the book will be out in May... it won't be really expensive either so everyone can enjoy! I'll keep you posted here.

I love this blog The Jealous Curator... really full of wonderful work! So it was smashing when they were jealous of the Charity Shop Orphans...

Frankie Magazine
