THIS week is the last week of Devon Art Works Open Studios event. Visitors have already benefited from seeing a wide variety of work across West Devon and artists have enjoyed welcoming tourists and locals into their studios and work spaces. In Okehampton, the Museum of Dartmoor Life is showing work by a number of artists taking part in the event. Near Okehampton Station, Nadia Tracy and Lucia Yonge are exhibiting their sculptures and paintings. In Northlew, Jo Seccombe is showing her bronze and resin sculptures with Lucy Turmaine, who paints landscapes and portraits. In the same area is Jacquie Perkin and Patricia Lomax, both abstract painters. In South Tawton, Ron Andrews is exhibiting his representations of trees. Further east, in Wonson, near Chagford, Chris Chapman?s photography and documentary film can be seen. In Chagford there is a feast of art. There is Jim Fortey?s painting inspired by the Devon countryside at The Big Red Sofa. In Chagford Galleries Bridget Thomasin is showing her handmade books and paintings with Sheila Hadley, a painter inspired by nature. At the Barns Abigail North, a potter, and Marja Lee Kruijt, watercolourist and illustrator are exhibiting. Behind the church visit Yuli Somme, a felter, in her studio and see her hen teacosies and felt shrouds together with quilts made by Jenny Hutchinson. Peter Ellison, an experimental, mixed media artist, is also showing his work in Chagford. Just outside Chagford, in Murchington, visitors can go to Virginia Richards? pottery workshop where work is also being shown by painters Chris Ellis and Kari McGowan. Next door Peter Bennett is showing his photography accompanied by poetry by Sue Bennett and in Gidleigh Jane Leitch is showing her landscape, marine and animal portraits. More artists are exhibiting near Lifton, Chillaton and around Tavistock and Yelverton. Guides can be found in the tourist information centres, libraries and cafes and arts venues. The event ends on September 23. Devon Arts Works is a flagship project of Devon Artist Network, an artists? membership organisation. It follows the highly successful Nine Days of Art events staged regularly since 2000. The new annual event has seen studios across the county being opened simultaneously for the first time.
