Each winter at Phoenix Art Space we offer our Main Gallery and Project Space as a shared studio

Please join us for an Open Day on Friday 13 February, 12 – 7pm to meet this year’s selected artists and see what they have been exploring with some expanded studio space

For 2026 we welcomed artists…

Louise Claudette

Louise Claudette works with expanded printmaking, painting and photography. She traces the psychogeographical experience of urban space through anxiety.

Through layering and removal, she creates fragmented places that transform the everyday into the uncanny.

Ollie Hay

Ollie Hay is a multidisciplinary artist using painting as a space for emotion, transformation and repair. The Phoenix Winter Residency — their first time working in a large studio — opened up a process of play, scale and multiple works made side-by-side. Their practice returns to one question: what am I making, and why?

Jeni Johnson

Jeni Johnson is a painter working with planetary and elemental cosmologies as spacial and material systems.

Using painting, clay, and thread, she constructs fields, constellation maps and ceramic objects that move between

expansion and containment, intimacy and scale. Her work approaches painting as embodied research, holding the microand the macro together through layered materials and memory.

Anna Moser

Anna Moser is an artist whose work develops through close attention to the natural world, as well as by mining the

materiality and visual effects of paint. Botanical and landscape studies provide models for color and form, which Moser

translates into compositions that blur the line between abstraction and figuration.

Sharon Wylde

Sharon Wylde is a visual artist based in Hastings working with sculpture, installation and photography. The focus for this residency has been an exploration of plinths, pedestals, stands, things that hold objects, present them to be admired; her aim has been to ask what happens if that hierarchy of place isupended, when the object clings to the plinth, the stand is deconstructed
