Purbeck Art Weeks
Olly Pyle is taking centre stage in our main window for Purbeck Art Weeks.
Oliver has established himself as a successful landscape artist, working exclusively in watercolour. Having been on holiday to Swanage for many years and visiting the county regularly too, Purbeck is 'second home' for Oliver;
"For me Purbeck has everything, especially contrast. On the one hand there are the gentle, sweeping bays of Swanage and Studland but also the rugged coastline at Seacombe and Kimmeridge; and the verdant, rolling Purbeck hills set at variance to the windswept, open heathland of Godlingston and Arne for example. What I love about Purbeck is that there is always something to paint, the ephemeral, coastal light constantly creating new and fresh perspectives."
Alongside Olly are potters Neil Tregear who works out of his studio at Niton on the Isle of Wight and Kara Leigh Ford from Somerset whose beautifully turned mugs, pots and spoons are causing a bit of ceramic lust!
