Easterly Artist Geoff Litchfield’s intricate col Easterly Artist Geoff Litchfield’s intricate collage piece “Naughts and Crosses” is going to an appreciative new home. If you visited the recent exhibition at  Holton Lodge you may have seen it there . 

Taking a number of years to complete , the  work underwent several transformations before its final, mesmerising and poignant form .

** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ** CLARE MYNOTT The ** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT **
CLARE MYNOTT

The starting point for Clare’s work tends to be people. With a desire to break free from constraints : seeking reasons or consider other ways “to be” in a complex world that is full of rules .

She says “Lowestoft is the backdrop to my life . The town is like a parent ; an attachment is formed . Living for decades in the same town in which I grew up feels like to an emotional attachment to another human being . That fact infuses my art … particularly in my earlier works “.

She added “ For me, the process of drawing and painting …makes me feel alive …”

The images shown here are :
1. Mum on a Plate
2. Freewheeling
3. Circle Time Gone Wrong

** ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ** HARVEY BRADLEY Harvey has ** ARTIST SPOTLIGHT **
 HARVEY BRADLEY

Harvey has a long career in teaching and pottery . An early interest in Kandinsky shaped his teaching ideas ; whilst the oriental / classical styles of the Leach dynasty influenced his pottery .

These two forms have melded into simple bowl forms and expressive brushwork, reminiscent of musical chords and variations .

Harvey uses a Leach - style kick wheel , and adds expressive brush marks using Chinese brushes .
 
Shown here are:
1. Flight plan
2. Music of the Spheres 1
3. Flight Song

Harvey will be showing some of his work at the group’s exhibition during Heritage week:

12th - 21st September at the Battery of Ideas in Lowestoft

** ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ** TERESA WILLIAMS Teresa com ** ARTIST SPOTLIGHT **
TERESA WILLIAMS

Teresa combines her own photographs with vintage papers and fabric to create collage and intricate hand embroideries on paper; using recycled and sustainable materials wherever possible.

She says “My work is constantly shifting , much like the lie of the land on the Suffolk BC past, which is a refusing theme in my recent work, some of which draws attention to the environmental issue of erosion on the Suffolk coastline .”

Some of Teresa’s work can currently be seen along with 20 other Easterly Artists , in their group exhibition .

Ways of Looking exhibition is open 11-5 until Tuesday 5th August. 

Holton Lodge Barn Gallery

** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ** MARK CROXFORD Ma ** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT **
MARK CROXFORD 

Mark’s work captures the texture and vitality of rural  landscapes through wall-based constructions made from found materials.

His use of two and a half dimensions allows his work to straddle preconceived norms, and engages his sculptures in physical space while still pointing to the metaphysical .

Some of Mark’s sculptures are currently being exhibited as part of the Easterly Artists’ group exhibition . There’s still time to come and see it !

Open daily 11am - 5pm until Tuesday 5th August

Wow what a fantastic preview we had on Friday nigh Wow what a fantastic preview we had on Friday night at Holton Lodge Barn . We started counting the visitors but soon lost track as there were so many lovely supporters who came to see us . 
It was a very special night , I think everyone who came would agree that the quality of work on display was outstanding .
And of course our special guest Laurence Edwards was there and gave such a heart warming speech at the beginning .
From all of us , thank you to everyone who came - whether you went home with something new , or whether you came to support us and cheer us on . Thank you .

When’s the next one ?

** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ** ROSALIND BIEBER ** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT **
 ROSALIND BIEBER

Since relocating from London to Suffolk in 2017,  Ros’s work has undergone a change as she has come to love the open skies,harbours, boatyards, tugboats of the coast. She is fascinated by Lowestoft with the knowledge of it once being a famous and active port.

Recently, experimenting with the computer as a means of expression has led her into a new and colourful language particularly suited to jazz themes .

See Rosalind’s work first hand at the current Easterly Artists exhibition in the wonderful setting that is Holton Barn Lodge. 

Open daily 11am - 5pm until Tuesday 5th August.

** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ** MARILYN JACKSON M ** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT **
MARILYN JACKSON

Marilyn’s inspiration comes from many places and experiences which interact and develop through manipulation and experimentation with materials. 
Her work is process orientated, with outcomes formed by the synthesis of the real world with the inner world of her thoughts , feelings and imagination, and the materials she has to hand .

Marilyn’s work is currently being shown as part of the Easterly Artists exhibition.

Ways of Looking exhibition runs from Thursday 31 July until Tuesday 5 August. Open daily 11am - 5pm. PV TODAY Friday 1st August from 5pm

** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ** CLARE O’LEARY ** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT **
 CLARE O’LEARY

Born in Malaysia , Clare’s practice is inspired by the natural colours and plants she experienced there . 
Capturing not only the beautiful forms and colours , but the atmosphere is very apparent,  too . It is  the atmosphere of being totally immersed within the vegetation that the viewer experiences when seeing her work .
Paint layers reveal subtle changes in tone, colour , and texture .

Why not come and experience some of Clare’s work for yourself - it’s currently being shown alongside 20 other artists as well as special guest #laurenceedwards in the Easterly Artists exhibition .

Ways of Looking exhibition runs from Thursday 31 July until Tuesday 5 August. Open daily 11am - 5pm. PV Friday 1st August from 5pm

** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ** LIZ GOULDING Liz ** EASTERLY ARTIST SPOTLIGHT **
 LIZ GOULDING

Liz searched and found Passion, Inspiration and Tranquility in Southern Italy, Skiathos and at her home now on the Suffolk coast. She is inspired by light and colour and texture, trees and rocks, the sea, the sky and weathered surfaces. Her paintings ae more about the experience than a photographic representation. 

She says: “Painting is the absorption of all my joy and sorrow and the landscape of it.”

🎉🎉 Opening TODAY 🎉🎉
