Andrea Jenkins draws on a lifetime of engagement with art to express ideas in a variety of styles and two-dimensional mediums. 

From expressing concern for the environment through close observation to showing her enjoyment of exploring colour, composition and mark making in abstract painting, Andrea demonstrates her versatility in this solo exhibition.

Angela’s exhibition will also be open on Sunday 18 April, 10am – 4pm.

Our work is as diverse as our characters coming as we do from different backgrounds. However, we share a mutual love of art in all its forms and interpretations. In this exhibition we aim to capture the spirit of relationships and connections through the natural elements that bind them.

Our exhibition will also be open on Sunday 25 April, 10am – 4pm.

Notice of Annual General Meeting and Invitation to Apply to be a Trustee/Director

Our governing document, the Memorandum & Articles of Association, require us to hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) within 15 months of the last one: the next will therefore take place on Monday 26 April 2021.

Unfortunately, because we have almost 500 members, coronavirus social distancing restrictions mean that we are unable to invite members to attend in person and also the Board considers it impractical to hold a web-based meeting. We therefore plan to hold a very simple AGM at the Arts Centre with the minimum number of Trustee/Directors present and the minimum number of agenda items/resolutions. The Annual Report and Accounts are available here, and we will send members the AGM agenda, proxy forms and any other papers well in advance, inviting you to submit any comments or questions before the meeting (preferably via email) and to submit your votes on the resolutions by means of proxy-forms.

The Board is keen to encourage new applicants to apply to be Trustee/Directors. If you would like to become more involved in the governance and strategic direction of the Arts Centre and you can offer expertise/experience in relevant areas, you will find details of the application process in the papers being issued.

Pearl’s Land, Sea and Floral series are based on observations and drawing of nature. Contemporary oils and acrylics with a poetic bias and Japanese influence. Rich, expressive colours together with space and movement in a structured composition, strive to capture the essence of her subject.

They are paintings to live with.

Helen Baddeley, Brady Turner and Jane Barnard have colour at the heart of their practice to express their feelings about landscape and the world around them. Although varied in media and styles, they have a delight in making work that is expressive and powerful. This exhibition is the first time they have shown together. 

Wessex landscapes have great appeal and walking, camping and sketching prompt ideas, forming the basis for paintings based largely on mood and memory. I have been much influenced by a year’s Diploma Course at the Norfolk Painting School which stresses a grounding on traditional techniques. 

Dorset printmakers Jayne Soakell & Sarah Humby have been exploring the Dorset countryside and coastline for many years.  

Field Trips is an exhibition of new work based on expeditions into the landscape made before and after lockdown. A mixture of studio work and drawings made directly in the field.
