Artizan Welcomes Torbay Guild of Artists
Artizan are delighted to be welcoming Torbay Guild for a group show during September. Although we have hosted many members from the Guild both in solo shows and as part of our group shows, this will be the first time that we have hosted the group itself. Torbay Guild has been established for many years and whilst it is based and exhibits primarily in Torbay, its members are accepted from other areas of Devon. The Guild encourages and supports a broad range of artists working in all fields of visual arts and we are delighted to be hosting them during Devon Open Studios alongside our artists who have working studios at Fleet Street.

Rachel Mclaughlin
After teaching in Oxford for 24 years and spending three years in Shenzhen, China, I've made the decision to fully dedicate myself to painting. Despite being labelled as a 'semi-abstract painter,' my work is rooted in direct observation, particularly of my surrounding environment, which serves as my constant muse and companion. My goal is to capture the essence of a place rather than meticulously replicate it. I explore landscapes, distilling them down to their essential elements, aiming to evoke a sense of the location rather than reproduce every detail. My process begins with plein air drawing, capturing intricate details and taking informative photos for reference. I then transition to my studio, where I simultaneously work on multiple paintings, predominantly on A3 watercolour paper, although I'm now exploring larger canvases. My paintings evolve with the seasons, weather, and time of day, reflecting the dynamic nature of the environment. Utilizing acrylics, pens, and ink, I embrace the fast-drying qualities of these mediums, though I remain adaptable, adjusting my approach based on the conditions and atmosphere I encounter.
