Virtual studio visit with artist, Serena Caulfield

While the pandemic has thrown much of the world into chaos, for some it’s been a chance to work uninterrupted and enjoy a normally unachievable focus. For artist Serena Caulfield the last few months have been a chance to be prolific and experiment, enhancing the quality of her work. But with galleries across the globe largely closed or serving reduced audiences will all this amazing work go unseen?

Not today friends. Virtual studio visits offer us, not only a chance to warp to faraway locations we may not otherwise be able to visit, but it also affords us a chance to engage with brilliant work in situ. Hear from the maker about the work, the inspiration and process behind in.

After a short virtual tour, Serena will speak briefly about her work before answering questions.
