Michelle Watson is a Suffolk-based figurative pain Michelle Watson is a Suffolk-based figurative painter whose work explores the modern female experience with power and sensitivity. In her paintings, reality and abstraction sit side by side. Classical figuration meets contemporary mark-making, and subtle brushstrokes shape isolated female forms that feel both strong and vulnerable. Her work captures beauty, emotion and the hidden pressures carried through past, present and future. Michelle’s thoughtful approach has led to solo exhibitions and group shows across the country, with her pieces held in private collections in the UK and abroad. Discover more talented Suffolk artists like Michelle through Suffolk Open Studios. And if you are looking for a festive creative outing, the Christmas at Clare exhibition is now open at The Old Goods Shed in Clare. #SuffolkOpenStudios #SuffolkArtists #SupportLocalArt
Fine and sterling silver jewellery artist Helen Wa Fine and sterling silver jewellery artist Helen Wallace brings the beauty of the natural world into every piece she creates. Working with both traditional silversmithing and recycled fine silver clay, she captures the delicate textures of seed heads, petals and organic forms, transforming them into pure silver details that feel both timeless and contemporary. Helen’s philosophy centres on working sustainably, using eco and recycled precious metals and ethically sourced gemstones wherever possible. Her work is thoughtful, tactile and deeply rooted in the landscapes that inspire her. You can discover Suffolk artists like Helen throughout the Christmas at Clare exhibition, now open at The Old Goods Shed in Clare. It’s the perfect place to explore local creativity and find something meaningful this festive season. #SuffolkOpenStudios #SuffolkArtists #ChristmasAtClare
Clay, colour and character come together in the jo Clay, colour and character come together in the joyful work of Nick Walker, a Suffolk Open Studios member whose pottery and printmaking share an unmistakable sense of play. Nick moves between clay and ink, letting each discipline influence the other. His ceramic pieces are decorated with a printmaker’s eye, using embossed patterns and colourful glazes to create contrast and personality. From mugs and bowls to tiles, dishes and quirky little creatures, his work is designed to make people smile. Alongside his ceramics, Nick creates bold, graphic linoprints and cards, carved and layered to form strong, simple imagery with real impact.

A life steeped in painting and a deep connection t A life steeped in painting and a deep connection to the natural world defines the work of Suffolk artist Michael Vincent. Born in Bury St Edmunds, he began drawing at the age of four and spent his childhood cycling through the countryside with his easel strapped to the back of his bike. Those early plein air days shaped a lifelong devotion to capturing landscape, light and place. Working in gouache and oils, Michael paints with a sensitivity informed by decades of observing nature in Suffolk, Finland, New Zealand and Somerset. His canvases reflect not only the beauty of land and sea but also an awareness of how fragile these environments are. After many years teaching, exhibiting and writing, Michael has now returned to Kessingland, where he has re-established his studio and continues to paint the landscapes that first inspired him. His work carries a sense of history, emotion and lived experience that makes each piece quietly compelling. Follow Suffolk Open Studios to discover more artists working across the county as we move toward the festive season and enjoy the current Christmas at Clare exhibition. #SuffolkOpenStudios #SuffolkArt #DiscoverLocalArtists
Working in oil and acrylic, Hetty Van Wijk brings Working in oil and acrylic, Hetty Van Wijk brings a sense of clarity, colour and quiet beauty to her paintings. Born in the Netherlands and now happily rooted in Suffolk, she is fascinated by the way light interacts with objects, surfaces and reflections. Hetty’s traditional still life pieces draw inspiration from the Dutch Masters, featuring glass, fruit, ceramics and all the tiny details that make a scene shimmer with life. She also paints portraits, capturing personality with warmth and precision, and has recently begun exploring landscapes where dramatic skies offer a fresh challenge. If you enjoy still life, vibrant colour and beautifully observed detail, Hetty’s work is well worth discovering.
