MAY

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ARTISTS OPEN HOUSES

Many of you will have visited Brighton and Hove for their annual summer and Christmas open houses and will know what a fantastic event this is.

I am really pleased to be participating for the first time this year, when I shall be joining a number of other artists at Milton House. Very close to the centre of Brighton but without the hassle of parking restrictions and with a number of other houses open within close distance, this is a great location to plan your visit.

Milton House, 281 Dyke Road, Hove, BN3 6PD

Open house runs each weekend throughout May and Milton House will be open from 11am to 6pm each Saturday and Sunday from 6th to 28th May with an extra open day on Monday 29th May.

Although my work will be available throughout the whole event, I shan't be there every day so if you wish to see me I shall be there on the following days:

Private View – Friday 5^th May, 7-10pm  - all welcome

Saturday 6^th, 11am – 2.30pm

Sunday 21^st   11am -6pm

Sunday 28^th   2.30- 6pm

Monday 29^th 2.30 – 6pm

However, please recheck before visiting as stewarding rotas are prone to change.

JUNE

                                          Surrey Artists Open Studios 

Following swiftly on, I shall once again be opening my garden and studio for Surrey Artists Open Studios 

3rd – 18^th June 2017

11am – 5pm daily, Thurs evening 6-8.30pm

My actual open dates are  Sat 3^rd, Sun 4^th, Mon 5^th, Wed 7^th, Thurs 8^th (evening only),

Fri 9^th, Sat 10^th, Sun 11^th, Tue 13^th, Wed 14^th, Thurs 15^th (evening only), Sat 17^th and Sun 18^th.

To launch the event I shall be offering my visitors Pimms and cake on Saturday 3rd June.

In addition to a full range of my sculptural figurative work, there will also be some garden pieces.

Visitors to my garden studio will find it bursting with imaginative, dreamlike creations with their toy-like appearance and dry, worn surfaces, which evoke a sense of familiarity and nostalgia.

Inspired by fairy tales, nursery rhymes and much more, narratives are intentionally ambiguous and it is always fascinating to see how other people relate to and interpret the work.

I always look forward to welcoming visitors and truly hope they find the experience as enjoyable as I do.
