UPCOMING EXHIBITION………….
Join me and nine other well known Sussex artists for our exhibition ‘Ways of Seeing’ which will include art in various techniques and media and is each artists interpretation of how we are viewing the places and spaces around us. The exhibition takes place in the Great Hall at Danny House in Hurstpierpoint over the weekend of 27th and 28th September, 2025. Danny is an important historical house and is not usually open to the public - The Great Hall being most famous in recent history as the place where Lloyd George and his cabinet drew up papers for the armistice.
The exhibition is now in its fourth year and is part of the Hurst Festival. More details of this exhibition and other events can be found at hurstfestival.org
With paintings, prints and cards, all works at this exhibition are for sale
Open for each day from 10am - 5pm
For the exhibition ‘Ways of Seeing’ I will be launching a selection of work from my new series of ‘Scabiosa’ panels.
“This series of paintings on cradled wooden panels with the use of the gold as an enduring nod to the sacred spaces and naivety of medieval flower paintings, are inspired by looking up through the stems of giant scabious – their buds, flowers and the seed heads with one or two petals holding on. Sometimes uplifting and sometimes with a hint of melancholy but always with inherent natural beauty - the imperfect surface layers of acrylic paint added, built up, scratched back and textured to reveal what is underneath. The spaces between the stems form a significant movement across the panels and are an important part of each piece. The Victorian language of flowers associates scabious with ‘unfortunate love’ which maybe also adds a little to their mystery”
