The Artist's Den
Artists Studio
The Artist’s Den is a space where art happens, in a secret garden studio, tucked away from the world.

This is an interactive space where you take things as you find them.

Visit this beach home for vibrant paintings from Sophie Garwood and ceramics from guest artist Carole Ashby. Sophie’s artwork is inspired by nature and she loves to explore colour and shape through seascapes and floral compositions. Sophie creates small and large scale paintings experimenting with mixed media and texture. Carole also likes to play with colour, pattern and texture on her ceramic surfaces.
The Quay Hole

Heather and Louise reunite to showcase works inspired by the patterns, lines and spaces of nature. Expect mixed media, prints, painting and drawings that reflect on the marks humans leave on nature and how it marks us.
