Artist information

Spending many years as a chartered architect, the most enjoyable part, for me, was always the creation of freehand illustrations. Having now retired from architecture, I’m free to explore my passion, but this time as an artist. Henley on Thames and the Chiltern AONB provides such a rich tapestry of forms, both in terms of buildings but also the outstanding natural landscape, that I cannot but be inspired to paint them. I work in whatever media works best: oil, watercolour, gouache or pastel, or any combination of same, depending on the feeling I’m trying to convey, with special attention paid to light and shadow, texture and tone. I’ve tried to reflect this in my latest collection, and I shall be building on this theme in the future.

Exhibition information

I am delighted to be participating in Oxfordshire Artweeks for the first time this May. I will be showcasing my new series of architectural paintings inspired by Henley-on-Thames, alongside local landscape paintings, mounted prints, and cards. My studio, Busby K Studio and Gallery, is situated in a spacious converted barn at Timbers Farm, Nuffield, in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Access is directly from Timbers Lane, with convenient car parking available adjacent to the barn. The exhibition will be open throughout the South Oxfordshire phase of Artweeks, from the 10th to the 18th of May, daily from 11 am to 6 pm. If you are unable to visit during these dates, please do not hesitate to get in touch, as I would be happy to arrange a private viewing at an alternative time. I have invited five local artists to exhibit their work alongside mine. Each artist draws inspiration from nature and location, yet each has a distinct style and approach, ensuring a diverse and engaging collection of art will be on display and available for purchase. During the exhibition, I will be actively painting in the studio and would be delighted to discuss my work with you. I look forward to welcoming you to my gallery.
