By The Friends of St Ann’s Well Gardens
🗓️ 2nd February – 29th March 2026
📍Garden Cafe. Somerhill Ave St Ann’s Well Gardens, Hove BN3 1RP England
I am delighted by the invitation to put on an art show at the Garden Café, organised by The Friends of St Ann’s Well Gardens, in February and March 2026.
I love St Ann’s Well Gardens. Since I moved to Brighton back in 2007, you could have easily spotted me there, either playing tennis or just going for a stroll. During lockdown, I used to go for a run most days, and the park was part of my running route. I love wildlife, flora, trees, and birds, and St Ann’s Well Garden is a perfect green lung in the heart of the city of Brighton and Hove. Sometimes, on my strolls around the park, I imagine the nearby grassy hills with windmill sails that Constable painted when he was in Brighton in the 1820s.
Since 2009, I have been creating prints inspired by coastal and countryside scenes, architecture, flora, fauna, mythological motifs, and glimpses of everyday life. Each piece reflects my aim to unite precision with emotion, creating images that are both crafted and felt. Each of my works begins with hand-drawn black ink line work, later coloured digitally to preserve the expressive character of the drawing while adding tones that range from vibrant to serene. Ink is the backbone of my work; colour is the soul. I issue my prints as limited editions, each one individually signed, dated, and numbered.
St Ann’s Well Gardens
St Ann’s Well Gardens is a green space in Hove, East Sussex, about half a mile’s walk from the shore. The grounds are well known for an iron-rich spring, now called St Ann’s Well. In this case, the name “St Ann” does not point to a saint. Instead, it is said to come from an old tale of Annafrieda, a Saxon woman whose sweetheart was slain. By wonder, her tears became the iron spring that is now called St Ann’s Well.
The Friends of St Ann’s Well Gardens
The Friends group began in 2007 to help plan the hundred-year marking of St Ann’s Well Gardens. It went so well that they went on to run a May fair each year until 2022. Along the way they held days for wildlife, art shows, litter picks, and raised a great deal of money to help make the Gardens better.
