For Artweeks in May I will be opening up my studio along with many other artists at Ayres House Studios in Wallingford. I will continue working during that week on whatever I happen to be doing, sharing my work as an arts practitioner, my creative processes, studio paraphernalia and creative biproducts.

Some of my paintings have a background influence from growing up on the Isle of Wight exploring coast, plimsoll, plumb and horizon lines. There is a leveling effect to look as far as the eye can see. I think that's why I like walking, pottery or prioritising sound, it centres me in a similar way. My compositions are all processes of 'looking to be still' or 'to distil', whatever medium, form or subject I use, from painting, drawing, pottery, writing, recordings and collections. This year I will be working on pieces relating to cementing memory and memory loss.

A small selection of studio pieces, limited edition prints and pottery will be available to purchase from my studio, as well as through the Ayres House Studios online gallery www.ayreshousestudios.co.uk/gallery

Full and up to date exhibit information will be available at www.ayreshousestudios.co.uk/artweeks-2024.
