Creative Canterbury recently alerted me to Cancer charity Macmillan's Folkestone Art Show 2012. Last year I exhibited alongside loftier artists such as Tracey Emin with my 'Local mackerel' (Margate version) in a Pilgrim's Hospice exhibition of artists' postcards at Margate's Harbour Arm Gallery. Folkestone is a local Kentish seaside town that I thought would adapt well to the mackerel concept. The original idea was a linocut and I have also painted a whole shoal of these as small watercolour originals (Whitstable version, which are sold at Taking the Plunge in Whitstable High Street), but this is the first time I have turned to canvas to convey the concept.
