Drawing Room is pleased to offer Drawing Circle members, and a limited number of Network members, the opportunity to attend a studio visit in Hackney with Donna Huddleston.

Join artist Donna Huddleston in her studio to view works in progress for her forthcoming solo exhibition at Drawing Room.

Known primarily for her highly detailed coloured pencil figurative drawings of groups of women and teenage girls, the subject of Huddleston’s work is inspired by her childhood memories of Australia and life as a student of theatre design. Her exhibition will include new large and small-scale drawings in a sculptural installation that examines female archetypes, developing the narrative of each image to explore the psychology of study, altered states, desire and illusion.

The event is part of Drawing Room's exclusive events programme for Drawing Circle members. Drawing Network members are welcome to join for a £30 donation. Your donation will be automatically matched by the Arts Council Catalyst:Evolve fund. For further details please contact Vishal Sumarria.
