We decided to be part of the Open House trails for the first time in 2005, as this represented a good opportunity to exhibit our work making it accessible to a wide range of people, with the freedom to present the work in a domestic home environment. An attractive walled garden leads to an intimate exhibition showcasing three local artists' work, Claudia Rivers Bland, Sue Haseltine and Adam Gower.
As a group we felt that our work was complimentary to each other and would create an exhibition which embraced colour, form and shape. Part of the focus for two of the artist’s work, Claudia and Sue, is printing at Brighton Independent Printmaking, Sue also works as a painter in her studio locally, whilst Adam Gower creates ceramic ware at Kemp Town Ceramics, Brighton. Claudia teaches Art and Design in London at a private school to children from ages 8 - 18, whilst Sue Haseltine works as a graphic designer and Adam as a gardener and decorator.
