COMING SOON
Coming soon, the third Virtual to Real exhibition, this time in Harding House Gallery in the cultural quarter of Lincoln. ‘Noachio Terra, Mars’ (the pink collagraph on the poster) is displayed on the OPAL website and ‘Sausthorpe Rape’, a second collagraph, will be hanging in the gallery. I will not be at the Preview on Thursday 25th September unfortunately but hope those of you who attend enjoy the exhibition.
Hot on the Heels
The second Art Trail and Open Studios of Creative Lincs sees me back at the Rickyard Gallery in Wickenby, with a selection of recent prints based on the geology of Jersey. We shall be providing refreshments over the three days of the show and enjoying this glorious space in the Lincolnshire countryside. Please do come visit us!
Current Shows
I am very excited to have had a viscosity print selected for the Humber to the Wash Open exhibition at the Ropewalk Gallery in Barton on Humber. It is a beautifully curated show well-worth visiting.
The Private View of the 2nd Virtual-to-Real exhibition was very well-attended, with a good representation of the artists exhibiting, buzzing discussions about professional practice lubricated by liquid refreshment. It is well worth the drive into the Lincolnshire countryside to see.
Past Exhibitions
The second Creative Lincs exhibtion in the Orchard Gallery included three collagaph prints from my portfolio.
The second joint exhibition between Feral Arts and the Ropewalk in which I have five screenprints and one collagraph. I hope you can find the time to visit.
I have a collagraph print in this exhibition
I have two Harvest Moon collagraph prints on the wall and five in the print browser. I hope you can come to this very intimate gallery.
Excited to have a print featured in the Jersey Summer Exhibition!

Jersey Rocks
13th and 14th January 2024 at Greve de Lecq Barracks
I received good publicity for my most recent exhibition with ArtHouse Jersey via their website, social media and regular reminders.
Rural Post published an article entitled ‘Jersey Rocks From An Artist’s Perspective in the week running up to the Pop Up exhibition on January 7th.
The Jersey Evening Post wrote a great promotional article ‘Inspired by Jersey’s geology to create original artworks’ with images of collagraph prints mid-week.
Bailiwick Express also heralded the exhibition on their Art Fix page, ‘Explore the beauty of volcanic activity’ on Friday 12th January.
On the same day I was interviewed by Charles from BBC Jersey about my Pop Up exhibition at Greve de Lecq Barracks. Later the same day Pip from Channel ITV came to talk to me about the exhibition.
The concept of my exhibition was a walk around the island from the barracks in a clockwise direction. A map indicated the locations of the prints and there was a presentation on a 5 minute loop illustrating how photographs of rocks were translated into a plate, so that visitors could compare the marks and textures mirrored. Geological terms were included in the titles of prints in the hope that visitors would want to find out more about the rock formations. A selection of plates were available for visitors to handle and match to the framed prints. This encouraged closer examination of the textures and patterns and acted as a stimulus for questions and discussions. My solo exhibition had a constant flow of visitors. It was a pleasure to engage in conversations with visitors and to explain the collagraph printing process. I think a cosy indoor environment helped on a pretty cold weekend! I received very positive feedback (see a selection below). Thank you to everyone who made the journey to Greve de Lecq Barracks or dropped in as they cycled past!

So creative and experimental. Thanks very much for explaining the processes and how you achieve such great effects.
Thank you Anne. Beautiful studies of the geology formed over time. Makes you think about the. History, movement of time to reflect on those formations. Lovely attention to detail – texture, form, colour.‘
