Exhibitions & Events 2021
This being the year after the year before, with the Coronavirus pandemic still in circulation I made the decision to focus on my sketchbook as well as papercuts, recording the day to-day, mainly in line and wash. As a result I have created a selection of papercuts and sketches. These are currently available at https://lovefromtheartist.com/artists/exmouth/irena-boobyer
New papercuts and sketches are added so please feel free to return for another browse from time to time!
I am now happily taking bookings for workshops and demonstrations for 2022, please contact me for available dates and requirements.
