Way back when in 2024 we took a trip to Cheltenham to check out galleries for a joint exhibition… the planning began. 

‘Journey’ came from an idea of Karen’s to show how we work, from sketching in the wild (Karen) to splashing paint and navel gazing (Gaynor) to fully fledged and framed paintings. 

It’s been fascinating to see the differences in how we create, but it’s also fun to exhibit together. This week we share the successes and mishaps along the route from booking the gallery to hanging the work. 

Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last nearly four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcast
