How to brighten up your life or home! Yes I mean it, a simple visit to see an artist in their studio. It may just change your life in a good way!
Think about it, most artists spend their life creating original one off pieces which rarely see the light of day in a public gallery. So unless you are a keen Art Buyer, Collector or Gallery Proprietor, you will never see probably 95% of all the work created.
So how to get to see it? and will it be to your taste anyway? – Well you’ll never know until you go looking for it.
A really interesting way to see some of these creations is to meet up with the artists in their own studios.
There you can see what they do and how they work. They may have works in progress on the easel and you may have a chat with the artist, and find out ‘what makes them tick.’ – You can bet that their lifestyle is quite different from yours! So what inspires them? how do they get ideas? In many other professions this wouldn’t happen?
I’ve never seen an opportunity to meet one on one, with professional actors, or singers, or musicians, or even accountants for that matter, in their own environment. So for a unique experience – You know what to do, – go and visit an artist on Open Studio day.
It just so happens, I am opening my studio along with 30+ other local artists on the last three weekends in August. From 10am to 4pm each day ie: 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 26th, 27th and 28th Bank Holiday Monday.
Here is a sneak preview of works on the easel!
In addition I have invited my artist friends to come and paint in the garden on Saturday 26th August, so do come and say hi, we don’t bite! We’d love to see you.
The Address: 21 Seafield Road, Broadstairs, CT10 2DD
So what was that I said at the beginning about brightening up your life or home? Ah yes – well you may just see a little gem that reminds you of something good, or someone special. – And studio prices are usually less than gallery prices – as there is no commission to pay. A win win situation in my books!
