About Me

I'm planning on not planning this year. I have got a list of things I want to achieve, but I'm not going to plan!I'm a real believer in things happening for a reason, and all your experiences help to build you as a person. No regrets. I love it here in Brighton. I'm a very positive girl.I used to see things as very black and white. It's become obvious that there are sometimes room for grey bits too. Not much but a bit.I'm a bit naieve, always looking for the good in people, and I put a lot of trust in people when maybe sometimes I should be protecting myself.My hair is thick and wavey. Harris hair as my Nanny says. I like having thick hair and people always tell me how lucky I am to have it.I like it when Alis says 'what time did they rock up' or 'you can't expect to just rock up' I also like it when she says 'bust some moves' and when she starts to talk in French, but yes mostly when she says h'actually : )I like it when Davinia calls me at 1.20 in the AM, drunk, telling me I'm her best friend and she'll see me soon and that she loves me. She has curly curly hair and nobody can make me laugh like she can. We are best friends and I hope we stay best friends forever.My favourite colour is too specific to pinpoint. It's easier if I tell you I hate none of them and they all have their place in Leighs spectrum. Not to be confussed with plectrum aka guitar pick.My favourite drink. That's a tricky one as I like different ones in different circumstances. Apple martini if I'm flush or feel like showing off! I do love them though and it's probably my favourite. Love my food too!Never be tight with cash on the following: Loo roll, butter and coffee.I want to paint more this year. Take photographs and make them huge. Go to galleries. Watch lots of films at the cinema. Films that I want to see.

Review - Chris Kettle - local Brighton artist

The aubergine is dead, long live Chris Kettle Chris evokes such a beautiful depiction of human emotion in his work. It's not as tactile as previous pieces titled 'Identity' or 'Pomegranate' but it d...
