The work I have shown here are works in progress. They are part of my research for my M.Phill and they investigate the practical use of colour in contemporary abstract painting based on theoretical lines of inquiry in the work of such artists as Josef Albers, Bridget Riley and Jane Bustin.

I have just moved into my studio at the Atkins. It's great to have all my work around me, I feel so inspired.
Due to one of the tenants upgrading to one of the plush offices on the first floor, we now have a vacant studio.
If anyone would like to join us, it's a large studio which would be suitable for two or three artists to share or a more established business for single occupancy.
This is such a vibrant place to work and I can't wait to get in every day. I would recommend the studio spaces to any practicing artist/maker or creative business. Viewing is a must.

The Private view is on Saturday 7th November from 2.00pm till 5.00pm. If you want to come all are welcome. It will be a great chance to meet the artists.
