Ahead of next appearance at Drink and Draw, we sat down with Martina to talk about her journey- from her yoga and meditation teaching to her studies at the Royal Drawing School, and how all these experiences shape the unique, supportive communities she helps to build through her creative practice.

We’re delighted to welcome Jasmine Simpson as the artist host for our September edition of Drink & Draw!

Jasmine is an artist whose practice is deeply rooted in her heritage. Growing up surrounded by the rich ceramic traditions of Staffordshire, she developed a fascination with form, texture, and storytelling that continues to shape her work today. Her imagined animal forms and myth-infused figures carry a distinctive blend of tenderness and strangeness, inviting viewers into worlds that feel both familiar and otherworldly.

Weald Contemporary is thrilled to welcome the talented Alexander Johnson as the next guest artist for our upcoming Drink and Draw session on Wednesday, 7th May. Known for his expressive style and dynamic use of colour, Johnson brings a fresh and imaginative energy to everything he creates. We caught up with him in advance of the session.

Peter James Field is an artist whose work bridges the gap between fine art and illustration, capturing the essence of his subjects with precision and depth. Whether painting for gallery exhibitions, illustrating for renowned fashion brands, or chronicling daily life in his decade-long visual diary project, his work is marked by keen observation and a unique personal touch.

We caught up with Tom Scotcher ahead of our greatly anticipated Drink and Draw session to talk art, inspiration, and what to expect from the Weald Contemporary Drink and Draw experience!.
