Fresh Art Fair 2022

I’m pleased to be showing this year at Fresh Art Fair, Ascot. This is a new one for me … Fresh is a gallery led art fair and promises “an easy and enjoyable way to see 40 to 50 leading Galleries in one convenient place. You can browse and buy the work of 500 UK and international artists, from exciting new talent to famous names…”

I’ll be showing with Over the Sofa collective. A female artist collective spanning a range of styles, from figurative to pure abstract, with a shared desire to explore, experiment and never repeat themselves. Jenny Fermor lives in Madrid and is bringing her striking architectural compositions fuelled by light and strong compositions, and Sara Breinlinger will be showing collected collage works. “Driven by a disorderly attempt to make sense of things, a love of pattern and strange juxtapositions her paintings have a real sense of immediacy.”

It’s going to be exciting to see these works together so do come and visit us on stand D13. All the details are below including how to access your complimentary tickets.

The Blank Canvas: Starting New Work [178]

Apple podcast

 

This week, Louise is joined by best-selling novelist (and good friend) Jonathan Hall, who writes under the name JM Hall. Louise is making a start on a new series of abstract paintings and Jonathan is beginning his third novel. In this conversation, we explore the challenges of starting again, or perhaps it’s more a case of building on what went before? After all, Jonathan is writing about the same characters and Louise is bringing in elements of previous work, so are we ever really starting with a blank canvas? As we chat, we uncover many similarities between writing and painting, share our thoughts on imposter syndrome, discuss the value of taking creative detours, and agree on the importance of an underlying message or theme to our work. Sometimes it helps to step back and see our situation in a whole new light and we hope this comparison with writing makes that possible for you.

The Final Countdown [177]

Apple podcast

 

Welcome back! You’ll notice it’s been a longer break than we anticipated and today we are spilling the beans and talking about making decisions in your art life to suit you … and why it’s OK to want something that is different to the things other people want or expect from you. 

This was not the episode we were expecting to record today but we hope it encourages you that there is always a way through to finding the fun AND the freedom in what you do…
