‘ Sun seekers ‘ textiles
The common element throughout my textile and mixed media work is stitch. Whether by hand or by machine, I am fascinated by the ability of simple sewn marks to alter a prepared surface, creating textural interest, structural integrity and emotional response.

The weather was kind when we visited this exhibition. The setting is magical in the grounds of Bayfield Hall with its sweeping lawns, a great treescape and the lake.
We started in the Natural Surroundings cafe and plant nursery spending longer there than we had intended. Such peaceful surroundings with all the cottage garden and wildflower plant nursery. We ventured into the summerhouse to find some harvest mice scampering around their enclosure. Hard to believe that such small creatures can survive in the wild.

Exploring how musical terminology can enhance our visual experience.
Can a painting be described as a Rhapsody? In music the term is used to describe something irregular in form, an improvisation. So, yes. If George Gershwin can use the colour blue to describe his rhythmic jazzy ‘Rhapsody’ then ‘Rhapsody in Green’ can be used to describe my painting of barleycorn blowing in the wind.
Time to see why this installation is already drawing record numbers of visitors.
We drove through the gates of Houghton Hall and joined a long line of cars very slowly making their way to the car park -proof this is a popular exhibition.
Luckily for us we had a picnic with us and there was plenty of time to munch our sandwiches as we edged along.
We started to spot naked iron men among the trees and in the fields all staring into the distance. Some on pillars, some on the ground and some immersed into the ground.

Esther Boehm opened Studio @ 55 on the High Street, Heacham in October 2017. In these 6+ years we have watched it grow into a vibrant community art hub.
Sadly, Esther has been told that she will need to Vacate the Premises. We don’t want to see her go!
