Brushstrokes to Brands

5th August - 25th November 2023

Extended until 18th February 2024

A new display of original oil paintings at the Museum of Brands, Notting Hill. The temporary exhibit depicts heritage brands, found in the Museum's core collection, through original still life oil paintings.

With a focus on confectionary wrappers, nostalgia and heritage brands, 'Brushstrokes to Brands' offers an opportunity to connect with the Museum's collection through a new medium and contemporary artistic lens.

Over the past decade, I have noticed many traditional, old pubs, sweet shops and cafes have disappeared from our Towns and Cities. I was desperate to find a way to capture these places in my paintings whilst some still exist, and I decided to paint still life compositions of objects often found in these places in the hope of conjuring memories and emotions in the viewers mind.

Enjoy a nostalgic journey through 200 years of social change, culture and lifestyle by visiting the Museum's main collection, the Time Tunnel before exploring 'Brushstrokes to Brands' my temporary solo exhibition.

Children can stay entertained with an activity worksheet, which will develop their understanding of design, colour and the use of logos in brands and packaging.

Take part in our interactive draw-along workshop on 9 August. Replicating one of my favourite paintings, I will show the basics of drawing a still life. The participant will be able to keep their still life drawing for a keepsake.
