Valerie Petts OAS – Oxfordshire Artweeks

377 Valerie Petts OAS

Region: Jericho – City

Artform: Ceramics, Painting, Sculpture

As I live immediately opposite St Barnabas Church where there are about 20 exhibitors, I hope you’ll pop in! And if you’re coming by car, you should be able to find a 2-hour free parking space nearby, but if not just call in and I’ll arrange a visitor’s permit for you.

I’ll be showing all the small watercolours painted for a new little book ‘Jericho, a Celebration’ published at the end of 2025 to mark Jericho’s 200th birthday! Produced in collaboration with Mark Davies, local historian, the book will be available for sale, with all profits benefitting the community. I’ll also have some oil paintings of Port Meadow and other subjects – in particular water and light, as I love the challenges of attempting to paint the ever-present, yet ever-changing faces of nature ….
There are also a few ‘clearance’ paintings and some limited edition prints of Oxford (the full range can be seen on my website).
And as I’ve recently started ceramics, some of these will be around, and in my small garden there will be a few clay sculptures, mostly of figures.
