No Woman is an Island is a collection of works by seven award-winning women artists: Cath Bloomfield, Phoebe Cummings, Nicky Knowles RWA, Debbie Lee, Rebecca Newnham FRSS, Sarah Purvey and Patricia Volk RWA FRSS curated by Jacquiline Creswell.
The diverse works on show explore what it means to be a creative woman in the 21st century and the many challenges and opportunities these multi-faceted and committed women face. The exhibition sets out to discover their world and life experiences.

I will be exhibiting my triptych the Grotesque Dance alongside prints and drawings. This work was made in a response to chaotic events happening in the world around me. It was inspired by Goya’s dark etchings the Disparates.

15 April – 30 June
The Vanner Gallery, Salisbury

My painting Standing On The Same Spot  was selected for the Royal Watercolour Society Open exhibition. This is a  group exhibition of contemporary watercolour. The exhibition is at Bankside Gallery London from 4th March-20th March. This painting was made from leftover paint on scrap paper. The image is made from a memory of standing in a room in Paris. It begs the question ‘what remains at the end of the day?’ You can view all the work in the Royal Waterclour Society Open at Bankside Gallery online.
