show in totnes: ‘kaleidorasa’ By Riversongheart & visionary digital artist henry roberts, 2023

Exhibition: “Kaleidorasa: the kaleidoscope within you without you”, a collaboration with Sheffield-based artist Henry Roberts - Henry puts my original animal paintings through the digital psychedelic mangle!

Held at Kommune in Totnes, at 91a, High Street, the vibrant arts, music and coffee space.

The perfect setting for our Kaleidorasa large format prints. You can also get artisan coffee served to you straight from an indoor VW camper van alongside live music. 

Thank you to everyone who helped make this show happen, it means a lot. A vision becoming reality… that’s really something, isn’t it? On a personal level this exhibition marks the birth of ideas a lifetime in the making, it’s a celebration of nature, animals, humans. An exploration of the hand, the paw, the fin, the tentacle, the wing, the human brain & tech used for good. A visual enquiry in to the nature of consciousness and the consciousness of nature…

As an artist there is a constant pull between states: wanting to be seen and wanting to remain hidden. This show has opened up such beautiful space to be visible - do come and take a look inside our minds. 

Kaleidorasa Prints are available as Limited Edition Fine Art Prints

Top Drawer London was a brilliant experience. Feeling grateful to have met such lovely people. Highlights include: talking with many good souls about animals, nature, creativity, colour and using sustainable materials. Also my belief that reforestation is a specific responsibility of paper-led businesses, a belief I action via my partnership with TreeSisters Charity. I loved being able to show people the true colours, textures & physical qualities of my animal art cards and fine art prints (instead of via digital).

earth being for earth day

This is my painting and collage called EARTH BEING. It’s animal, plant, human. Entwined, naturally. The ideas written in the key are inspired by the work of many - I am not the authority here - just the researcher. Created to honour Earth Day 2021, theme: Restore Our Earth.

“This Earth Day 2021, we experienced a cultural shift comparable to the first Earth Day in 1970,” said Kathleen Rogers, President of earthday.org
