STUDIO & GALLERY
You'll find my little studio & gallery tucked away in a mews just a short walk from Hove seafront.This is where I make most of my own work, so it is often a wonderful, creative mess. However, the front section is set aside as a gallery space dedicated to exhibiting pieces by my artist colleagues.
Originally built around 1881 Lion Mews was the Duke of Portland's stables for many years and is now a bustling pedestrian street housing artisans and small businesses.As the units were built for horses, not humans, it can get chilly inside so I open on an appointment-only basisng the winter. From April to October, I fling the door open to visitors on Fridays and Saturdays, changing the gallery display each week so there's always something new to see.
All current collection pieces can be seen in the gallery. In addition, you may also find works from previous collections by some of our best-selling artists, plus preloved pieces that I have for resale. If you are planning to visit and would like to see something specific please call ahead so I can get it ready for you.
There is free parking on nearby residential streets and both Hove and Portslade train stations aren't far away but a bit more than a short walk. New Church Road is on a busy bus route with direct links from Brighton.
The kettle is usually on and you'll often find Bassett, the mews cat, making himself at home on the sofa. There are two great cafés just around the corner plus a multitude of pubs and restaurants in Hove centre.
And of course, the beach is just at the end of the road.
