Welcome to Open Studios 2025. Do you know my work?
If so I’m sure I’ll see you during open studios again, can’t wait to catch up. If not, I hope you appreciate what I do and look forward to introducing you to some of my memories. Each drawing is created initially in a few minutes and captures whatever happens in front of me. Completing them is another story and can take a lot longer.
I’m exhibiting with Jeni Cairns and we’re looking forward to another wonderful few weekends of Open Studios. I’m so grateful to Jeni to give me space and provide her beautiful garden for us to relax in.
Life has no meaning for me without creativity. Illustration is what I love. Since moving to Peterborough over ten years ago I’ve practiced quick illustration of everyday life as it happens, usually from one of the hundreds of benches around the city of Peterborough. I love that I have something so creative in my life.
My work is very loose, illustrative and distinctive. As well as bench views I paint on fabric and my practice includes weekly mindful drawings. Some of my photos of my work leave a lot to the imagination so you’d be very welcomed if you came to visit open studios and see them in person.
Jeni is a wonderful natural gardener so they’re lots for everyone. Come chat, wander and have refreshments, not forgetting all the conversation in the world, if you want it, about art, life and nature.
Looking forward to another great open studios.
Best wishes, Lynne
