An exhibition at Andover Museum and Museum of the Iron Age in Hampshire inspired by the beautiful and historic Danebury Hillfort, near Stockbridge in Hampshire.

I was invited by Sarah Maddison to take part in the exhibition, over the course of a few months I visited the site to photograph the landscape with specific focus on the trees. I returned and painted en plein air while also taking in the rich atmosphere of the environment. Danebury was once an Iron Age Hillfort, the site is perched high on a hill with commanding views over the Hampshire countryside. I made some loose ink drawings inspired by the light in the wooded part of the site but for my exhibition pieces I decided to make two detailed pen drawings in the style of my woodland studies series.

The exhibition ran from 9th June 2022 until 17th July 2022 and was varied, with large abstract paintings, embroidered art work, watercolour, textiles, ceramics, printmaking, jewellery and a sound installation. The artists that took part: Jo Arkell, Kate Bennett, Kenton Clarke-Williams, Emma Cooper, Joel Davies, Annette Hobbs, Claire Leach, Marta Lichocinska, Sarah Maddison, Rebecca Maynard, Teresa Munn, Keith Pattison, Rebecca Perdue, Jo Richardson, Trudy Slade and Rosie Wesley.

The exhibition was supported by Hampshire Cultural Trust, my thanks to Andover Museum, Hampshire Cultural Trust and Sarah Maddison for organising such an interesting show.
