Having built up a supply of mini canvas and easel paintings, I am also hoping to take a fair few smaller sized paintings from my existing stock as well as create some new ones.

Painted all over with a metallic blue acrylic paint, I then glued some metallic blue cord in a spiral shape and filled each segment with various beads and dots of acrylic white paint. It was only when I’d uploaded it and was varnishing it, however, that I noticed it bears a resemblance to a collaboration painting done by fellow RGC artists Kosana Marton and Andrea Farmer. I must have had the image of their painting in my sub-conscious mind for ages without realising it!

Here is my latest creation, “Mutable Cell I”. It is 7 x 5 inches.

I think it rather resembles “Sensuality” -which can be seen here on the RGC website. Although that was not my intention as I started creating this piece, it shows what an impact art has on you whether you are aware of it or not.

Remember Me

I’m currently concentrating on producing work for the Chelmsford Arts Trail 2010. The paintings shown here are all based on Essex rural and coastal scenes. Although I haven’t decided exactly which pieces I will exhibit yet (the Trail starts in September) I want to build up a collection of works to choose from when the time comes. I’m very much enjoying expanding on my floral themed landscape paintings and plan to create a few more incorporating wild flowers.

You will notice that there are also one or two non-Rogue Gene Collective artists included, which really helped to create an interesting and varied exhibition.

I will be writing about the weekend in more detail on my personal blog soon, once this nice weather has gone!

There will be a wide selection of affordable and original art and craft works for sale by members of the group, five of whom will be attending in person. The event also features local artists.

The Rogue Gene Collective is a small group of artists who are committed to helping each other attain a higher level of visibility for their work. We do this by networking; pooling resources, information, knowledge and contacts. There are currently seven members, and four guest artists

As a group we hold exhibitions all over the country acting as agents, couriers and publicists for each other. Our aim is to offer a wide variety of quality original artwork to the collector, occasional buyer or corporate buyer.

This exhibition is a rare opportunity for the group to come together in person to exhibit a comprehensive collection of original quality work, representing some of the best competitively priced contemporary artwork available. There will also be a special stand showing a selection of collaborations between the group members. This is a new and unique idea where two artists have worked together to create an original artwork.

The exhibition will be on Sunday 16th May at Pinder Hall, Lower Road, Cookham, SL6 9EH. Amanda Hunt, Andrea Farmer, Helen Davison, Kos Marton and Rob Kirbyson will all be available throughout the day to answer any questions or just for a chat.

Cookham is a small village on the banks of the Thames just off Junction 4 on the M40, and Junction 8/9 of the M4. Why not come for the day – a visit to the exhibition can easily be combined with a stroll along the river and maybe a pub lunch in one of the many small local country pubs. Entrance is free and the event is suitable for all the family.

It was our first visit and a wonderful experience. There was a lot to fit in, and despite the heavy snow fall we managed to see Central Park, Battery Park, Times Square, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Statue of Liberty, Flatiron Building, Rockefeller Centre and ice rink, Chrysler Building, Empire State Building plus visit the Magnolia Bakery (and eat yummy cupcakes!), Macys, Bloomingdales, Tiffanys, Fat Annie’s Truck Stop, Century 21, Soho, Greenwich Village and 5th Avenue. After years of watching American TV – especially ‘Friends’, ‘Sex and the City’ and ‘Will and Grace’ this really was a dream come true for me!!

I especially enjoyed our visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art which has a fantastic varied collection of inspiring art: http://www.metmuseum.org/
