Rosemary Lawrey

I am open every day during Open Studios (15 - 25 July 2022), 10 a.m. - 5 pm.

Location:  Upsteps, 34A Newport Street, Ryde, PO33 2QB.

Find me up the blue iron steps next door to No. 35 Newport Street (top floor of corner house  on Newport Street/Station Street - entrance is on Newport Street).

Colourful abstract paintings. Walks around the island provide the spark for paintings and drawings full of mystery, movement and energy on canvas, aluminium and paper.  

Lots of new work again this year.

We all need an escape hatch. Mine is my front door. When I walk through it with no plan or destination in mind, I'm never disappointed. The rhythm of my footsteps leads me down familiar streets, always to a new experience, a new wonder and new fuel for my imagination. An unpromising sludgy pond brings a thrilling close encounter with a dragonfly. The double yellow lines, hated by motorists, are a symbol of freedom, taking you to who-knows-where when you are following them on foot. The lines in my paintings are the same. They trace adventures, and I hope they will lead you on your own great escape into the endless possibilities of your imagination.
