The Claremont is back in it's fourth year as an Open House and proud to be showing one of the biggest and most impressive collections of contemporary art in the Festival.

We hope the combination of over 30 artists contributing stunning new work in a wide variety of mediums throughout this charming Victorian building and walled garden, plus the chance to sneak a peak at Brighton and Hove's first five-star guest accomodation, will make this an opportunity not to be missed!

During May, we are open every weekend 11-6pm EXCEPT Sunday the 22nd but we are open on the Bank Holiday Monday (30th)

Being interested in the human form, I have focused on one aspect of the human body, in this case hair, to create a series of drawings using pencil and graphite. The nature of this subject offers an interesting texture which allows me to experiment with intricate detail and bold marks. I look to create compositions that are eye-catching and have the ability to reveal their graphic quality when standing at a distance, combined with the ability to draw the observer in closer to view the imperfections of the more delicate marks.
