Wimbledon Art Studios: Millie McCallum

If I had to a pick a favourite studio it would have to be Millie McCallum's, her linoprint's are decorated with quirky extras, turning what is already a pretty gorgeous print into something beautifully magical. Of corse yet again the bright colours caught my eye, and the fact that she, like me seems to have a love of both pineapples and pandas!!

Wimbledon Art Studios: Arabella Stewart

I just cant help but love Arabella's sketches, they are so cute and yet so simple: black line on a white background. So lovely. 

Wimbledon Art Studios: Jaysen Lilley

These are my three favs from my visit to the studios, the first being Jaysen Lilley who creates bold, colourful screen prints with London themes.  I'm a sucker for bright colours so was immediately drawn to these, as well as his use of screen printing - I love thinking about all the layers which must have gone into each print to create the overall effect. 

Wimbledon Art Studios: Open Studios

Wimbledon art studios is one of the largest single site studio complexes in the UK, and this weekend saw one its twice yearly openings to the public. Luckily for me I live in walking distance of the studios, and with so many artists from so many disciplines in one place I would have been foolish to miss it. 

Having not been to an open studio's in a few years and never on my own (usually trotting along with a bunch of girls from uni) I was a tad unsure of what to expect! What I got was a lovely afternoon- looking into many artists own private worlds. I felt in owe of so many pieces and very inspired to create more myself. It was great to see such vastly different works all in the same place as well as being able to chat to the artists about their style and processes. 

Below are some of the pieces which caught my eye most...
