orking from her garden studio in Coddenham, Gilly orking from her garden studio in Coddenham, Gilly Rochester creates expressive, exploratory pieces that respond to figures, faces and places – from Suffolk and Norfolk to the vibrant textures of India. Her work embraces contrast: calm and energy, monochrome and colour, intuitive marks and layered depth. Whether she’s working in charcoal, ink, paint or collage, there’s a sense of curiosity and movement running through every piece. A lover of line, form and bold gestures, Gilly’s practice captures emotion through abstraction, inviting you to feel as much as you see. Follow Suffolk Open Studios to keep discovering artists who celebrate process, expression and place. #SuffolkOpenStudios #AbstractArt #GillyRochester #CoddenhamArtist
Ivan Robinson brings a unique lens to landscape – both literally and figuratively. Having studied at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford, Ivan combines his artistic training with a deep-rooted interest in geography and geology. His oil and acrylic paintings often hone in on the subtle effects of weather or the quiet textures of landscape detail – glaciated rocks, shifting skies, and fleeting light. Alongside painting, Ivan is an accomplished photographer who works exclusively with film, hand-printing black and white silver halide prints in the traditional way. His rural and urban landscapes, captured through this analogue process, echo the same fascination with form, space and nuance that define his paintings. His work has been exhibited in London, Brussels and throughout East Anglia, with critical praise describing his landscapes as “ambiguous and very beautiful graphic images.” 📷 Follow Suffolk Open Studios to discover more thoughtful and inspiring artists like Ivan. #SuffolkOpenStudios #LandscapeArt #FilmPhotography #IvanRobinsonArt
Can’t start a drawing? “Just close your eyes a Can’t start a drawing? “Just close your eyes and draw a squiggle,” says Lorette Roberts – illustrator, sketch artist, and watercolourist whose creative energy fills her Trust Farm Studio and garden. With a background in book illustration and a passion for boats, ropes, foliage and East Asian culture, Lorette’s work dances between observation and imagination. Her sketchbooks are a joy to explore – from the fishing boats of Aldeburgh to vibrant scenes from Vietnam and Thailand. Her mixed media pieces and light-hearted ink sketches reflect a lifetime of travel and curiosity. Lorette regularly opens her studio for exhibitions and offers friendly workshops designed to help others unlock their creative potential. Whether it’s a playful squiggle or a detailed study, she believes everyone has a spark worth nurturing. 📚 Find her books, paintings and workshops at Trust Farm Studio 📍 Follow Suffolk Open Studios to discover more local artists like Lorette #SuffolkOpenStudios #SketchbookArtist #MixedMediaArt
With a background in scientific and botanical illu With a background in scientific and botanical illustration, Rebecca Rix-Meo brings her deep love of nature into her delicate bas-relief plaster casts. After 24 years away from her art while raising a family, 2024 marked the beginning of a new chapter – a dedicated studio and a full-time creative practice. Her work begins by pressing carefully selected flowers, plants or beach finds into clay, then casting in plaster to create timeless, fossil-like impressions. These are often tinted with pigments and paint, preserving fleeting moments of season and place in beautifully tactile pieces. Whether gathering wildflowers or flotsam and jetsam from Suffolk’s rivers and coasts, Rebecca creates thoughtful compositions that celebrate the natural world and the quiet joy of observation.

Working at large scale, Annabel Ridley creates exp Working at large scale, Annabel Ridley creates expressive mixed media paintings that integrate printmaking surfaces with painterly gesture. Her work explores the relationship between memory, place, and process — where structured, printed elements underpin looser marks in paint and colour. Inspired by the coastal and inland landscapes of Suffolk, gardens, and wild fields, her paintings reflect a dynamic conversation between control and spontaneity, surface and depth. A graduate of Camberwell and St Martins School of Art, Annabel now works from her Suffolk studio, producing commissioned pieces for both private homes and public collections. She is also actively involved in teaching, workshops and collaborative art projects.

Working in both raku and stoneware, Kate Reynolds Working in both raku and stoneware, Kate Reynolds creates sculptural and decorative ceramic pieces that are rich in texture and full of personality. Her work includes slip-painted tiles and plates, as well as modelled and slab-built forms — boats, birds, figures and heads that are as evocative as they are beautifully made. Kate studied ceramics and 3D design at Brighton and Cardiff, and is a member of several regional maker groups including the Suffolk Craft Society and Anglian Potters. Whether you're drawn to the rustic unpredictability of raku or the quiet strength of stoneware, Kate's ceramics offer a thoughtful and tactile connection to form and storytelling.
