So happy to be returning to The Hide Artist’s Retreat to work next month. I made this following my last stay in May - looking forward to working on something bigger this time. My newspaper/zine is £10 including UK P&P - message if you’d like one!

I think this 1900 painting by Vanessa Bell says much about women artists and Western art history....!! And so does the new #WOMENSART book on women who paint - from Gentileschi to O'Keeffe and much more - Unlocking Women's Art 🎨 And it's coming soon! amazon.com/Unlocking-Wome…

A sunny (but not too hot) day in the studio. Hoorah!

“Comfort Blanket”, acrylic on canvas. I’ve somehow managed to have a really productive week!

Brilliant morning architecture walk with John Grindrod - so many reasons to love #Croydon 🩷Open House Festival

Really excited to see my piece “My Grandparents’ Bed” has been chosen for one of the flyers for HOME - so looking forward to this ArtCan exhibition next month and very happy to have been selected! #artcanhome #artcan

Planning to get a newsletter out this week with details of this and lots more - join my list to get all the info 😊 eepurl.com/NHZXT

My current exhibition!

I really don’t usually wear nice clothes in the studio, honest! 😂 Today is an admin/writing day rather than a painting day though so I just had to take the opportunity now it’s a little cooler to wear my amazing new Kemi Telford- YVONNE dress. 😍😍

Come in and enjoy ‘Out of Doors’ our refreshing new exhibition of ceramic sculptures by Rowena Brown and paintings by Susan Rentoul Open 19 to 30 Sept, 11am to 6pm (closed Mondays) Private View Tuesday 19th Sept 5-8pm

A sketch of a snowy school day in 1985 that still haunts me. Feeling some new paintings coming on - might not be as colourful as usual!
