South East Artists (SEAS) are excited to be exhibiting their first show at Deal Castle. A wonderful venue and atmospheric castle, situated on the seafront overlooking the English Channel. Artist’s work ranges from local scenes, historic images and abstract forms of the East Kent coast and surrounding areas. You will see, printmaking, mixed media, textiles, 3D work, mosaic, sculpture from recycled materials, photography, watercolour, acrylic and oil paintings. The event runs during the weekend of the Deal Music & Arts Festival and will be a great opportunity to visit Deal on a weekend when there will be much to see.
I will be exhibiting some new work, and you will also see some old favourites. It is a wonderful opportunity to see some new work from fifteen artists and have a great day visiting a wonderful castle.
This ticket will also allow re-admission to the show for its duration and access to Deal Castle as a visitor. No smoking allowed on the premises. No dogs allowed, but assistance dogs welcome.

SEAS artists return for our third show at the Pie Factory in three years.
Fifteen artists will be showing assemblage, painting, printmaking, photography, photomontage, mosaics, sculpture and textiles.
Come and meet me among the vibrant art quarters of Margate and nip across the road to the Turner Contemporary, where the four shortlisted artists for the 2019 Turner Prize will be on show.
My work will include images from Snowdon to the Kent coast, inspired by 17th Dutch landscape and seascape artists whom I found inspirational while studying the history of art in my early days at Medway College of Art
The monochrome images harp back to my love of magazines in the 60's and 70's such as The Sunday Times, The Observer magazine and Vogue. Shooting with manual focus lenses slows down my thought process and forces me to think about the composition and contrast of the image. Subdued colours, heavy clouds, mist and rain help to create the effect that I'm looking for in both monochrome and colour work.
The images of fish come from my love of sea angling and a desire to create a graphical image.
FOR ONE DAY ONLY South East Artists (SEAS) will be presenting their first POP-UP POSTCARD ART. Thirteen artists will be exhibiting Postcard Artwork mounted in frames and all artwork is available for £20. It's a great opportunity to get some local artist artwork without breaking the bank and ideal as gifts or Christmas stocking fillers. The work ranges from fine artwork to photography, textiles to printmaking and mixed-media. Artists include: Kate Baker, Patricia Barry, Chris Birbeck, Tom Burnham, Susan Carlyle, Martin Cherry, Alan Davis, Liza Harding, Dominic Harper, Peter Hayes-Watkins, Diana Mishkin, Mike Tedder, and Nicki Vowls.
The event takes place on Saturday 18th November at St George's Hall, High Street Deal. Entry is free and is open between 10am and 5pm. For further information visit our website: https://searts.wordpress.com or visit our Facebook page South East Artists.
