A First: The Artist Collective @ Westbury is holding a group exhibition “Midsummer” which includes work by virtually all of us! Plus, it’s Bucks Art Weeks Open Studios too…
I will be showing new work in the exhibition (see below) and will be there in person in the Barn Gallery, on Weds 11th between 11am and 1.30pm – happy to talk about my own or the other wonderful paintings, prints, jewellery, and sculpture created by my fellow artists.
Nine of us are also opening our studios as part of Bucks Art Weeks – so if you’re curious to see what I get up to in my studio you are welcome to come and see me! I am in Studio 6, on the ground floor of old part of the main house.
I’ll be there between 11am and 1,30pm on 7th/8th and 13th/14th/15th June. Hope to see you then!

Here is an opportunity to come and see what I’ve been making in my studio recently – and to meet some of my fellow members of the Artist Collective @ Westbury. We are opening our studios this coming Fri 14th/Sat 15th/Sun 16th June, 11am – 4pm.
Look forward to seeing you there!

New Work on show!
On 16th and 17th September, I will be exhibiting in the Barn Gallery at Westbury Arts centre, MK – along with other members of Artful Connections https://www.instagram.com/artful_connections – as part of the National Heritage Open Days https://www.westburyartscentre.org.uk/events2023
We are a group of artists who have become friends over many years, meeting regularly to share ideas, draw from life, paint outdoors, support and encourage each others’ creativity, put on exhibitions, and very importantly: drink tea and gossip!
The exhibition will be a colourful mix of figurative, abstract and landscape paintings in all kinds of media, as well as some very desirable ceramics…
I will also be opening my studio – which is the original 17th Century kitchen of the ancient house – once again over the same weekend as part of the Heritage Open Days and it’s theme of “Creativity Unwrapped” – so please come and visit!

It’s come round to that time again – and this year I will be able to welcome you into my new studio on the ground floor in the beautiful 17th Century house at Westbury Farm. I am honoured to have taken on what was the kitchen in the 1600’s, with it’s huge inglenook fireplace.
This large, light room has a calm atmosphere and I now have the space to develop my practice, to have models and sitters and to make sculpture again.
Along with 12 fellow members of Artist Collective @ Westbury I will be in situ here to welcome visitors from 11th – 19th June. We also have guest artists The Rookwood Group showing work in the Barn. There will be refreshments (including cake!) and a chance to see and talk to artists at work. Please check the brochure or http://www.bucksartweeks.org.uk for details of individual artist’s opening times.
I am opening my own studio 11th – 19th June between the following times:
Sat 11-5pm
Sun 11-4pm
Weds/Thurs/Fri 10-5pm
I have framed and unframed work for sale in the studio as well as pieces in the exhibition around the house. If you’d like to commission a portrait or other piece, this is a great opportunity to have a good look at some of my work and to talk in person about what you have in mind.
Of course it’s also a chance to come and be nosey! I’m happy to chat about my work, and it’s fine if you’d just like to browse…
Hope to see you in the next few days!
