Nancy Patterson
Born in Canada in the 1930s and following a bohemian childhood, Nancy Patterson was instilled with a passion for exploration and places afar.
After graduating with an art degree from Vancouver College of Art in 1957, Nancy travelled to the renowned artist colony in the UK — St Ives in Cornwall. She wanted to combine her wanderlust with her love of making things. Friends were working with renowned potters Janet and Bernard Leach. Life was full of parties and artist led.
Nancy moved into the studio at Patrick Heron’s Eagles Nest, Francis Bacon arrived with his friend Ron, and Ben Nicholson was down the road. Other guests were not only artists such as Terry Frost, Bryan Wynter, Roger Hilton and many more, but also people in the art business like Bertha Schafer from New York, Theo Waddington from London and critic Clement Greenberg from the USA.
Nancy met Mark Rothko at Peter Lanyon’s place in Carbis Bay. It was at one of these parties that she met artist Anthony Benjamin, "a delightful puckish Peter Pan character who had recently returned from several months on a French Government Bourse in Paris, studying printmaking at William Hayter’s famously innovative Atelier 17. Ant and I were good at jiving and often met at parties...then one night we danced out the door to Peggy Lee's 'Fever' and spent the greater part of the next forty-plus years together, usually having a good time and always involved in something to do with art."
Connected with the centre of the London art world in the 60s 70s and 80s, Nancy subsequently worked on sculptures with Benjamin, hung out with Brian Eno, made props and models for the "Doctor Who" TV series and taught at Ealing College of Art. She ran the Graffiti Gallery, curated exhibitions, and was involved in projects at prestigious institutions such as the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts in London). She always found a particular pleasure in associations with non-Western art and artists.
Following trips to Marrakesh with Anthony and his untimely death in 2002, a couple of years later Nancy returned to Marrakesh where she met Daoud, a trader in Berber goods. He spoke English well and had a sense of fun. She shared a telling meal with Daoud and his friends, "a meal cooked to perfection with aromatic spices and lots of black olives, probably better than what you would get in a fancy restaurant." At the end of the meal, Daoud said, "This is our last day. We are leaving tomorrow. Do you want to go to the desert?" Nancy replied, “Okay."
"Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon" is a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the desert in southern Morocco. The paintings tell the tales of the community that over the past 18 years the artist has become part of.

- Abstract Landscape Indian Art Edition 3/5 Linocut Print Nature Orange AustraliaBy Mukesh SharmaLocated in Norfolk, GBThere is a natural and raw understanding in Mukesh Sharma’s prints that both depict, and are influenced by, the Rajastani communities of his home town in rural India. In these Limited Edition fine-art prints, made over a period of twenty years, we are offered the colours of India’s ancient land, the textures, light and the patterns that are everywhere. In the patterns of the arable fields to the jali's (carved screens) in the architecture. This work is however not romantic nor nostalgic but shows a deeper rooted need to offer a visual heritage of place, of where the artist is from and the journey that he is taking. The results are both compelling and honest. Mukesh Sharma, Jetty 1, Lino-cut chin- coll’e on German Ivory paper Edition: 3 of 5, 2005 Image size: 50 x 33 cm / Sheet size: 79 x 55 cm Unframed ''What mesmerised me was the meeting of the sea and the mountain peak. Where the Jetty, a special curved wooden staircase leading to one end and the deep crystal clear sea at a distance. These scenes were amazing to me." Mukesh Sharma's work: It is often in childhood that paths are set for what we will become. Mukesh Sharma hails from a rural, agricultural village in Rajasthan, India. His Father is a craftsman who fixed and mended farm machinery and understood the working parts in the processes. Sharma followed in his Father’s footsteps, as is often the case in Indian families, but his was not the machines of the fields but the presses of the printing studio. Like his Father, Mukesh Sharma is fascinated with understanding how things work and how he can manipulate the metal in his hands. It is not surprising then that his medium of choice is printing. One of the most physically challenging of all the practices, it can often be physically challenging as well as technical and detailed. In his youth, Sharma would draw with stones on walls and floors. He was lucky his family encouraged this and he is grateful for his early art-training at the Jaipur School of Art but it was at the Baroda Art Department that he was introduced to the great printing traditions of Jyoti Bhatt...Category
