Dorset Art Weeks 2021: Journeys across sea, land and time, with a jazz beat

Swingtime

Dorset Art Weeks – the two week open-studio festival of Dorset artists – is back this week. And I am delighted to be taking part. 

It’s been three years since the last Dorset Art Weeks, after last year’s was cancelled due to Covid. 

I’ll be exhibiting a series of new paintings I created during the lockdown year. These include some of my brightest, most vibrant works celebrating big band jazz and a series of timescapes reflecting the patterns worn by time and the elements on stone. 

I have also been evolving my abstract landscapes, with works inspired by the Dorset coast and field lines.
TimeScape #1


As well as original framed works, I also have a selection of prints and a wide range of greetings cards.

I look forward to welcoming visitors everyday 10.30am to 5pm, from Saturday 22 May to Sunday 6 June. Full details  here, together with links to all the other amazing local artists:
