abstract potential …

my latest acrylic/mixed media work (on watercolour board)… I’m still exploring the abstract potential of the industrial remains of the tin and copper mines between Land’s End and Cape Cornwall. Needs a title yet… 

I’m enjoying producing these and it feels like this one is getting closer to the abstracted colour and form I’m after…

Hard to believe that I’ll be spending two uninterrupted weeks next year painting in the area, thanks to my recently awarded Artists Residency at Brison’s Veor.

I’m so pleased, today I got the news that I have been awarded an artist’s residency at Brison’s Veor, Cape Cornwall, for 2014!

A wonderful location, the house is the furthest west in England and situated right on the cliffs looking out to sea and the rocks that give the house its name. It has been run solely for creative residencies since the 1970s.

It’s also very close to the tin mining area I’ve recently been painting, which will be the main focus of my work whilst I’m there.
I’ll have it to myself for two weeks… two weeks of concentrating on painting, sketching, exploring. It will be my first residency.

Artist Mari French at the opening evening of Beyond the Surface

Friday evening was the Opening Night of my solo exhibition Beyond the Surface, at Greyfriars Art Space in King’s Lynn. Over 30 people turned up over the two hours, from the collectors to the curious, and there was a good buzz about the place. It was a pleasure to meet and chat with so many enthusiastic, interesting people.

The photographer from the Lynn News came just before the event, so there should be something in this coming Friday’s edition.

Over 30 people on the night


The ceramics are by Dameon Lynn, I love the textures and the way they complement my work. See more of Dameon’s work here.

The gallery is a great space to exhibit, bright and spacious, and can be hired by the week by artists and craftspeople wanting to hold a show. For details contact Greyfriars Art Space at http://www.greyfriarsartspace.co.uk
