Everyone is welcome to visit the studio during Artweeks (the final week of Artweeks (Wantage - South Oxfordshire).
What you will see.......
….…….a variety of illustrations in watercolour/gouache and pencil, photos, and ceramics (modelled, thrown and moulded), in porcelain, although there may be some past work on the shelves. The range of work reflects many material qualities and processes. Feel free to chat about any of these if you are considering developing your own art.
My art is often derived from personal photos and I particularly love representing animals in different forms, the favourite being in 3 dimensions. It can be so rewarding, capturing their character and expression in a drawing, or in 3D. I find that the camera is a great tool for recording valuable reference images, but also for producing photos as another art form. This season, my theme is 'Fragile Worlds' and is my choice for expressing many aspects of bird and human nature.
Students of all ages and abilities often come to the studio to build a portfolio of their own Art, or Design Technology. Please contact me for info if interested.
I am based at the studio in East Hanney these days. I previously taught art and design in a variety of different schools and colleges for over 40 years and continue to teach (by arrangement), here in East Hanney.
Born in Birmingham, I enjoyed living in a city, with all it has to offer: exhibitions, music, industry, social life..........I moved to Oxfordshire in 2007 with my family and life was very different. Here, I really enjoy the creativity, walks, taking photos, being part of a village community (we have lived in 4). There is never a shortage of inspiration on the doorstep.
