In the case of plants, and flowers in particular, I aim for the ‘essence’ of the subject in colour, form and movement. This follows my exploration of silk painting with its wonderful spontaneity of brushwork and my admiration of the art of Sumi-e painting developed to its heights in Japan .

I’ve found this project enormously challenging and exciting, not to say terrifying and extremely hard work. When I started attending Seven Dials meetings I began to realise just how much work was involved in setting things up. It’s been a revelation and I’m very impressed by the organisation and how it all came together – eventually: not to mention producing the work!

The flat itself has converted nicely into a welcoming little gallery, where refreshments are available, and has also proved to be a great way to meet the neighbours, several of whom have called in already. The venue is just a few minutes walk from Brighton Station, there are several good pubs close at hand, the number 7 bus runs nearby ( Upper Gloucester Road ) and Churchill Square is a short walk away.
