Collaborations
ArtCan
I am part of ArtCan, an artist-led, non-profit arts organisation with members across Britain and internationally. ArtCan creates opportunities for artists through exhibitions and practice development as well as peer-to-peer connections, professional recognition and access to specialist knowledge and support.
I have exhibited with ArtCan in New York and Paris, as well as in the UK.
Sanctuary Art Exhibition May 2023
Recently I took part in the launch event of a new ArtCan East Anglia regional group of the nonprofit organisation ArtCan, to which I belong. It featured the work of 12 women artists from the East Anglian region, thanks to a grant from the Holly Bush Prize (now Women in Art). In the Leper Chapel, in Cambridge a 900 year old Romanesque chapel and one of the oldest buildings still in use in Cambridge. It was wonderful to see fresh contemporary artwork in this ancient setting. We had 12 artists in the exhibition, and a range of different styles and techniques, from contemporary printmaking to oil painting, from iPad painting to sculpture. We have abstract work and work inspired by traditional mythology.
Society of East Anglian Watercolourists
In March 2023 I was invited to become an Associate Member the Society of East Anglian Watercolourists.
I exhibited with the Society twice during 2022: in February, at Awash 22, in the Handa Gallery, Wells Next the Sea, Norfolk and in September, at Waterways in the Babylon Gallery, Ely, Cambridgeshire.
