Venue address: 33 Mount Pleasant, Arundel BN18 9BD
My interest is people - and objects - of everyday life, how the people relate to each other, or how the objects do…..the ‘batterie de cuisine’ say, in the kitchen. Art isn’t separate from my life - it’s in the food I prepare and eat (and where it comes from) the books I read, how things are arranged in my house….they have all gradually become one. And my studio is in my garden, looking out over it.
I began painting around 2001, after I had finished a Masters as part of my psychotherapy training. It was more difficult than I ever imagined for the first few years! I went to EmilyBall@Seawhites and still do occasionally go to a three day course for painters with continuing work, taken by the very excellent Nick Bodimeade.
I am currently experimenting in paring down, how little needs to be in a painting to make it work. I look back and see how much I have over-worked. Sometimes things can be simple, and arrive easily after all.
