During the late May Bank Holiday weekend artists from the West Studios community will be taking part in Derbyshire Open Arts! Their studios will be open for you to be able to view where they create their work, and talk to them about their creative process.
Michael creates oil paintings of land and sea using bold open brushstrokes alongside palette knife mark making to achieve rich textured paintings full of energy and emotion.
You can contact Michael by phone or email or find out more more about him via his website.
Miriam’s abstract mixed media art engages with and reflects the silent, mysterious, transient and energetic aspects of life. Her inspiration comes from the Elemental World, Celtic & Christian Iconography, and Universal Symbols.
