Becky Blair is a Brighton artist who for the first time is opening her home for the festival! Becky exhibits internationally, often showing her paintings in Australia as well as Europe and London. Her work is driven by her passion for colour, playing with her memories of travel and sunny climates to create images that evoke joy. Showing her latest collection of summer inspired paintings and prints, she will also be unveiling her very exciting collaboration with Brighton potter Rachel Mary Entwistle. Also in the house are magical cushions of flora and fauna by textile artist Maria Tilyard, beautiful woodwork by award winning maker Laila Poppy Laurel, and hand carved spoons by Annie Slack.
