Hello!
I hope you’re well and are enjoying autumn so far.
I have to admit, I’ve been chasing my tail since my last newsletter, but there’s good reason for it. I’m grateful to have three very exciting exhibitions lined up this month. October is a busy month in the Art calendar and before our Christmas calendars start to kick in, it would be really lovely to see you. If you’re available, I will be at the private views for all of the upcoming exhibitions. Please find the details below.

“…And now for something a little different. This exhibition delves into the various processes artists use to develop their creative practices. I studied Visual Communication at UCA. My degree focused on graphics and digital design, and to this day, I still incorporate digital when visualising some of my ideas. For this exhibition, I’ve submitted two of my digital works as prints. When I’m not in the studio, or before I start a new painting, I experiment in my sketch book and on my phone, transferring works between both. It’s exciting to show this digital aspect of my practice.
The piece above was created in 2020 during lockdown. It’s made up of the same graphic element, distorted and skewed into various shapes and layered to make up the figure which is posing in a ballroom dance position called “The Hairpin” inspired by one of my favourite TV shows - Pose. This is an open edition print 60cm x 50cm, £175, framed. It’s not available on the website but please let me know if you’d like to order one.
Book your private view tickets or visit at any point during the show.
A Change To Art Commissions.
My commissions are now more flexible and more affordable. If you’ve visited my commissions page, you may have noticed that I was previously offering larger-sized paintings. I’ve now made the size options more flexible. Commissions now start at 70cm x 100cm or you can request a quote for a custom size up to 200cm. Deposits begin at £750. This is a great opportunity to own a unique, statement piece that’s personalised for you and your home.
Thank you for taking the time to read my news, until next time and with gratitude,
Courtenay.
