Artists all over Devon will be inviting people to look behind the scenes during this year’s Devon Open Studios.
Artists across Devon will showcase their work from 9-24 September in gardens, galleries, sheds, attics, a yurt and a historic mill. Local people and visitors to the county will be able to see art and crafts including painting, photography, sculpture, textiles, prints, ceramics and furniture.
The artist for East Devon is Alex Boon, who will feature his work at Colyton Artisan Quarter. Alex has moved away from academia, where he worked in environmental science, and now combines his knowledge of nature with his artistic skills. Alex is passionate about nature journalling – creating his own beautiful nature journals as well as encouraging others to do so. Alex believes in the physical and mental health benefits of engaging with the natural environment and keeping a journal. He is keen to help others get involved through the delivery of workshops and courses that combine nature walks, drawing from nature and studio sessions. Alex will be showing his work as part of a group of artists at Colyton Artisan Quarter.
