Exhibitions : Artists Open Houses since 1986
I have exhibited my art work since 1996 as part of the Artists Open Houses event that runs on the four weekends of the brighton Festival every May. I am a member of the Fiveways Artist Group and trail within the Fiveways area of Brighton.
Each year I have invited a small selection of artists whose work I admire, or a young aspiring artist, to join me in exhibiting in my house. Usually there are three or four other artists exhibiting on the ground floor and garden. It's always exciting to see how the different styles and themes interelate and come togther to form an enaging and exciting show.
We welcome broswers, and those interested in a purchase, art connisors and novices and the mildly curious. Children are welcome.
Since the pandemic of COVID-19 its a time for taking stock, reflecting and living in the present.
Exhibitions
Exhibited in various group and solo shows over the years. First show at Brighton Polytechnic in the 1980s. Later shows at Tunbridge Wells, Horsham and Oxford. Too busy teaching and painting to promote myself much!
