2018 Emerging Artist Bursary Winner - Marlborough Open Studios
Event: The Preview Show
Dates: 7 Jun 2018 - 10 Jun 2018
The exhibition will include artwork from all our disciplines, both 2D and 3D and will be an opportunity to purchase artwork at lower than gallery and very affordable prices (£30-£5000). All work is selected for quality, craftsmanship, price and above all, beauty.
This will be the fifth year of this spectacular, the brain child of Michael Angove and Deborah Husk, where artwork is hung often 3 deep making the space a jewel like treasure trove of work from local and internationally recognised artists.
Event: Affordable Art Auction

Biography
Winner of the MOS 2018 Bursary Award, I am a Wiltshire based artist and received my BA hons in Visual Arts from Lancaster University, after successfully completing my Art Foundation course at Swindon Art College. Like most artists, I get inspiration from the world around me, which in my case is the domestic sphere with my three young children. Also the natural world is an infinite source of ideas; living in rural Wiltshire I find nature right on my doorstep.
I love finding and painting interesting shapes; their relationship to each other and how they appear in the field of the canvas, and then what that canvas becomes. Ideas get reinterpreted – first into the sketchbook, then onto the canvas and then many times over as I explore. Each painting is a journey during which I might get lost for a while. I reach decisions along the way but not obvious ones: trying to leave the work just off-kilter, to perhaps convey a tension. I want to say ‘This is how I chose to paint this’.
I also have an active listing on Marlborough Open Studios.
