Common Ground
In May I was amongst the first group of rurally based artists and curators invited to participate in Common Good - a weekend of collaborative making, building new relationships, growing networks, showcasing, reflecting and support. The project was conceived and realised by Kate Genever and Soraya Smithson. Participating artists; Andrew Bracey, Laura Mabbutt, Jayne Cooper, Steve Pool, Tiffany Arntson and David Gilbert.
Ateliers du Grand Est Project
This year the project brings together 43 local arts organisations who organise open days for fine artists and makers from the Grand Est region.
‘Artist workshops are also an opportunity to defend artistic creation and show the best of our territory.’
Residency 2024
At the beginning of March I began a two month residency at La Fileuse, Reims working alongside 14 other French / international artists. The studio space is vast so I planned to work on large scale work which presents a logistical challenge in my own studio.

Artemisia Gentileschi Self portrait as an Allegory of Painting, 1638/39
A Face of Her Own: Women Artists and Self-Portraiture
An online talk booking now.
Join Arts Society lecturer and art historian Dr. Marie-Anne Mancio for a fascinating exploration of the history of women making self-portraits.
Wednesday 25th August 6pm - 7pm. £5.00
The history of women making self-portraits can be traced at least as far back as Catharina van Hemessen's groundbreaking Self-Portrait at the Easel, 1548 and through artists like Artemisia Gentileschi, Frida Kahlo, and today's Njideka Akunyili Crosby. Whether as an advertisement for their skills, a gift for the in-laws, an exploration of a psychological or physical state, or a search for a whole new identity, women's self-portraits remain one of the most fascinating genres.
Dr. Marie-Anne Mancio is an accredited Arts Society lecturer and has taught art history and critical theory nationally and internationally for institutions like Tate, Dulwich Picture Gallery, City Lit, London Art Salon, and many more. She is a founder member of artist collective InFems and writes historical fiction.
This event accompanies the current LPW Exhibition, Forward Broadcast by Sue Baker Kenton. It will take place live via Zoom. You will receive a Zoom link in advance of the event, once your booking has been placed.
