Q1. Hello Catherine! How much are you looking forward to the Combe Down Virtual Art Trail?
It has been so lovely to have the trail to look forward to! Whilst I love sharing my work, I also enjoy seeing what has been inspiring my fellow artists. Q2. You've taken part in the last three Combe Down Art Trails. What is it about art trails you enjoy? The local area has been so supportive over the last several months in particular. It seems to me to be full of creative people who are receptive to artists and what they make. Q3. What do you plan on exhibiting in the Combe Down Virtual Art Trail 2020 on Saturday 12th September? I will be showing my recent flowing watercolours on board - riverboats, sunsets, irises and a local landmark: the house of William Smith, father of British geology and former Midford resident. Also, a Welsh mountain scene complete with blustery weather and a white-washed farm nestled in the fields. On the Wednesday after the trail (16 September) I am hosting a Zoom workshop for beginners, creating an atmospheric landscape step-by-step in watercolour based around this setting.

Q1. Hello, Sara! How much are you looking forward to the Combe Down Virtual Art Trail?
I’m really excited to participate in this online event to share my passion for lino-cutting with our local community. This will be my first time trying to actively promote my art online, so I’m sure it will be a positive and enriching experience. Q2. You took part in the last Combe Down Art Trail. What is it about art trails that you enjoy? I’m actually very new to the concept of local art trails but as soon as I heard there was an annual one organised in the area where I live now I wanted to be part of it. I believe it’s very inspiring to know that there are many people around you with lots of brilliant ideas and talent to be shown and shared, therefore I really enjoyed participating in last year’s trail at the Hub. I hope to have enough creative time in the future to create new designs and participate in this art trail every year. Q3. What do you plan on exhibiting in the Combe Down Virtual Art Trail 2020 on Saturday 12th September? This year has been quite busy work-wise, therefore I haven’t had as much time as I would have wanted to create many new designs. For that reason I will be showing my 2019 cards, together with hand-made prints from my new 2020 lino-cut designs. I hope you like them!
Q2. As this is the first time you've taken part in the Combe Down Art Trail, what is it you think you'll enjoy?
I’ve enjoyed visiting many of the Bath Open Studios art trails over the years and it’s always so inspiring to see such a variety of work and get the chance to meet the artists. In particular this year it will be great to make contact with other artists in the local community and see what they’ve been up to during the lockdown months. Q3. What do you plan on exhibiting in the Combe Down Virtual Art Trail 2020 on Saturday 12th September? I’ve been painting furiously throughout lockdown and I'm excited to be releasing a large collection of flower paintings on paper. I also have some bigger paintings on board and canvas.

Q1. Hello, Shiva! How much are you looking forward to the Combe Down Virtual Art Trail?
I am really looking forward to it. I've never been involved in an art trail before but I have always wanted to be! I have only lived in the area for just over a year so it will also help me to meet other artists locally. Q2. As you've not taken part in the Combe Down Art Trail before, what do you think you'll enjoy? I will enjoy being part of a collective experience. I will enjoy showing my work and have a deadline to work towards for some new pieces as well as seeing and enjoying everyone else's work. Q3. What do you plan on exhibiting in the Combe Down Virtual Art Trail 2020 on Saturday 12th September? I make up-cycled furniture, paintings, prints, clothing, cushions, ceramics and whatever else takes my fancy! So I hope to exhibit as much of my range of makes as possible!
Q1. Hello, Madeleine! How much are you looking forward to the Combe Down Virtual Art Trail?
I’m very much looking forward to the 2020 art trail. It’s a great chance to share what has been created in the solitude of my attic studio, with a curious and interested audience. Q2. You've taken part in the past few Combe Down Art Trails. What is it about art trails you enjoy? I’ve taken part in many Bath Open Studios' art trails over several years but this will be my third year with Combe Down Art Trail. I especially enjoy the friendships made each year both with fellow exhibiting artists and with the visiting public. For the last 2 years I’ve been delighted to have a space in Sally Jefferies' house. The variety and quality of work there was amazing. Q3. What do you plan on exhibiting in the Combe Down Virtual Art Trail 2020 on Saturday 12th September? I’m planning to show work inspired by the natural world around my home. A new garden trap camera has captured the previously unknown night garden - the flash of a foxes brush, small fingers of the hedgehog and scruffy infant Magpies. Nest building is another theme. Observing nature carrying on while we all stayed at home in lockdown. And now, in September, the bats! |
