A brief introduction of the artist:

Ever since leaving school, I continued my art education through to university, where my love of animals and nature led me on to further study

Scientific Illustration. Since graduating I became a self employed artist, teaching art privately as well working in adult education teaching, drawing and painting. Other projects include delivering art related activities at corporate and community events. When I am not teaching, time is spent in my studio painting. I prefer to work in Acrylic as it suits my approach to painting. My paintings are an impressionistic interpretation conveying traditional subject’s in a more contemporary style. For me, this is explored through expressive brushstrokes and bold colour giving a slight abstract feel to the work.

Refreshments will be available in the interval

We look forward to welcoming everyone!!

A ceremony was held at Ongar Academy on 18th April attended by representatives of the Twinning Organisations of Cerizay, France and Ongar, Great Britain, and invited guests. The Chair of Ongar Art Society, Loueen Morrison and Publicity Officer, Susan Keeble were among those with a special invitation.

There was a lovely Afternoon Tea, a concert by the primary schools and a wonderful medley of songs from Chicago, the Musical by Ongar Singers.

The main event followed - the unveiling of a painting, created by Joe Charman, instigated by Loueen Morrison and Hugh Rayner of Ongar Art Society. The representatives from Cerizay were delighted with the presentation of the beautiful work of art.

The painting will be now in residence in Cerizay in France. Ongar Art Society has now attained International connections and we were very proud to have been part of this important ceremony.
