Eynsham Artweeks 13-21 May 12 May 2023 Eynsham Artweeks 13-21 May 2023

This year across Oxfordshire over 500 artists, makers and designers will be opening their doors, studios and gardens to exhibit their work ... and they are all free to visit.

All participating artists have an Artweeks number, so you can find them, read their profiles, see the type of work they do, and check their opening times and other details. See artweeks.org and/or the printed Artweeks guide, which you can pick up locally at The Market Garden, Eynsham Library, Evenlode DIY, Eynsham Cellars and at all Artweeks venues.

The Eynsham Art Window is proud to display work by the artists on the Eynsham Art Trail.

For North and West Oxfordshire, Artweeks will be running from 13th to 21st May - but do check on opening times for each individual artist.

Artweeks is a wonderful opportunity to meet the artists and see their work in their working environment. Artists love it, too, as they get to meet you and to talk about their materials, methods and inspiration. It is also encouraging and inspiring to find out what people think of their work.

Artweeks 302 / Drawing, Painting

Open: 13–14 & 20–21 May / 12pm–5.30pm / 7 Pigeon House Lane, Freeland OX29 8AG

Jane’s vibrant paintings are of nature, birds, animals, trees and the weather, and hand-painted maps. They are delightfully accurate, yet unique in that they come alive with her whimsical imagination and humour.
