This has been an exciting couple of weeks as I have had my first solo show at The Horton, Haven Way, Epsom KT19 8NP.
I was one of the three prize winners from The Horton Summer Exhibition 2025 and the exhibition was the prize. It marked my first solo show and brought together my work created over the past six years.
The Horton described the exhibition as:
” displaying work imbued with Annie’s obsession with colour and pattern which her prizewinning work from The Horton Summer Exhibition 2025, ‘Colourful Syncopation’, strikingly encapsulated.
As judging panel member and sculptor, Kendra Haste MRSS, said in her prizegiving presentation:
“A wonderfully vibrant piece, the shapes and colour with the particular use of quilted textiles as a surface material really gives this piece zing and punch. The work really does seem to hum and pulse with musical energy and rhythm.”
Throughout the run of the exhibition, I intended to work in a pop-up studio space beside my exhibits, but I found myself talking to the many visitors who were interested to hear about my approach to my work, with little time to get started on my next piece.
