Bionic Beverley

5 classes you took in university.
1. Vernacular architecture
2. Ecclesiastic architecture
3. History of art
4. Early modern Britain
5. Archaeology

And I've ended up using them all during my career 😊

An acrylic painting of waves crashing on a beach with misty mountains in the distance

Day 2 and I'm about to add the final details (my husband and 2 dogs ♥️).

I'm thoroughly enjoying painting the sea and just going wherever the brush takes me.

An acrylic painting of a castle on a cliff

Storm brewing...
I've always had an affinity for castles. If only those stones could talk... Tales of smuggling contraband? Imprisoning the villain in the tower? The grey lady who walks the walls each night?
What do YOU think this ruined castle's story is?

A hare painted in acrylics behind a hedgerow and in front of wooded hills

#Artists of Bluesky please help! In Jan I'm taking part in an exhibition at my local gallery. I've never done this before and don't have a clue what to expect! Do you have any top tips for me?

Now I heard that in my head in the voice of my old Uncle Trevor from Maesteg 😁

A blue and green painting of mountains, trees and hares on slate.

A couple of moonlit hares have finished my acrylics on Welsh slate painting after a week of inspiration in the Radnor Forest.

Finished off the week with a visit to Bourne Town Hall Trust where a passionate group of volunteers are breathing new life into the building & bringing it back into the heart of the community.

It's a real privilege to be able to help passionate people like this through @heritagenetwork.bsky.social

As someone born with a limb difference in 1972 within a mile of a Stewart's and Lloyds steelworks, do I really want to watch Toxic Town?

Thank you #BraillerSwift!

Thank you!

A colourful painting of a brown hare surrounded by autumnal foliage. Behind the hare are two hills and a small white cottage nestled between them

Finally finished painting this autumn hare yesterday. Happy new year!

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.

The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.

Fiat lux!

The day has finally come! I've taken delivery of new #OpenBionics arm through the NHS. Very relieved that I won't need to raise the funds again!

I added this Chrome extension and oh was I wrong!

If your org isn't using alt text ask them to add it & stop excluding a swathe of society/customers/colleagues.

Having a not good mental health day. Won’t go into details but every thought is difficult. If you’re struggling too, in whatever way, I’m sending love. Here are some small lovely things arranged neatly by my daughter. It’ll help your brain a little if it’s anxious & low. I’m staring at it too tbh:

A ruined, roofless stone building with a slipway to the left heading down to the sea. The ruin is surrounded by grassy, rocky hills

Trying to keep warm and dry today and thinking back to better weather. I fell in love with this ruin near Loch Melfort on Scotland's west coast. It was guarding a slipway down to the waves, and I wondered if it had sheltered weary travellers over the centuries.

A stone country cottage with a large tree in the background and a walled cottage garden in front. There's a light dusting of snow on the lane and wall in front and on its wonky roof

It's coming up to the season of my guilty pleasure, the film 'The Holiday'. I don't usually go for rom coms but I could watch this over and over. Probably because of the cottage!

Can you believe it was just a prop?

I absolutely love this! Now thinking I need to do something far more dramatic

Oh I'd love to check out your blog!

That looks amazing! I tried to hide my disability for so many years, and now I just want to make my arm a work of art 😁

A white robotic arm with diamantes and band signatures

Anyone here also partial to blinging up random things? I do love when my sparkly bionic gig arm catches the lights at gigs ✨

Even better when it gets signed!

Here's hoping you feel better soon. It's so debilitating

I remember a warm pillow helping too. I always hate that pain, and feeling like your brain is trying to push its way out of your face
