Suzy Sharpe Spring & Summer events

Hi I hope that you are well. I have a busy few months ahead further details and examples of new work are on my website. 28th May - 5th June - Open Studios at Hillside Farm Only a week away!!!  We still have plenty to do to get ready for visitors, but I thought I would help with directions by painting a flock of crows on the side of the the house, so you cant miss us now!. We will have works in progress and sketch books available for you to browse through, I will also be selling lots of my drawings and paintings on paper at much reduced prices. I produce hundred of drawings which never make it into frames because they don’t fit in with the themes of my exhibitions, so I thought it would be a good time to have a clear out....bargins to be found!!! Paul will also be demonstrating his techniques. It will be an opportunity to meet the animals which become the subjects of many of my paintings, we will have free flowing Coffee, tea and biscuits and if you would like to draw the horses, sheep or any other animals please feel free to bring materials and spend an hour or so here.
