We are delighted to be part of St George’s Church Summer Fete, Bickley again this year! The Bromley Art Society (BAS) has been invited to hold an exhibition of our society’s work inside the church, as well as host a stall in the church grounds where Susan Crowe will be selling bespoke bookmarks with artwork individually created by our own members as well as her own creations.

Tue 10 Jun – Monthly Meeting – Live Demonstration by Fiona Hooper – Landscapes in oils

Event, Monthly Meeting, Painting

Tue 10 Jun 25 7pm at St Georges Church Hall, Bickley, BR1 2BE

Fiona Hooper works mainly in oil, but also uses acrylic, mixed media and coloured pencil. Her subject matter centres on landscapes and modern still life, often completed using a painting knife, with an emphasis on the effects of light and capturing the essence of the subject. Glass is a particular favourite subject and appears in several of her recent still life paintings. Her landscapes are very often painted ‘en plein air’, in diverse locations including Surrey, Sussex, Norfolk and Venice.

As well as exhibiting and selling her work both in the UK and abroad (including at the Mall Galleries, the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery in London, the Landmark Art Fairs at Teddington, the Corner Gallery at Carshalton Beeches, the Kingston Artists Group, the Musical Museum at Kew Bridge and many other venues), Fiona is a well established portrait artist, having completed many commissions including people, dogs, cats, horses, and other animals.
