Janine Suggett (BA (Hons) Graphic Design & Illustration)
Oxton is where I've lived since 1983.

Art is very important to me - necessary and uplifting, other people's more than mine! The Fair is my fourth attempt at sharing my work with others.

I sit with pen and paper, not sure what comes first - a chicken and egg scenario. An idea, an object, a phrase that makes me smile. Little objects, symbols and forms with narrative held quietly within. Like sandcastles as the tide gets nearer.

I came to England to study illustration at Camberwell School of Art and Crafts in 1972; worked in publishing for several years; and moved to Oxton and brought up my three daughters. I now enjoy being a grandmother, although Poppy could easily take over my studio...
