The Exhibitors
Anne-Marie Kelly
Anne-Marie Kelly originally trained as a Graphic Designer, specialising in Illustration on the post graduate Advanced course at Central St. Martins School of Art. She worked as a freelance Illustrator in Editorial and Publishing and Lecturer in Art & Design for several years in London before moving to Cyprus in 1989.
She relocated to Dorset in 1997 and moved to Portland two years ago in order to be closer to the sea. Living so close to Chesil beach, she makes many sketches and colour annotations which are then developed in her studio allowing her memory and feelings to dictate the final outcomes.
Anne-Marie works in a wide range of media and takes her inspiration from the dramatic, rugged coastline of Portland and the ancient Dorset terrain. Colour, texture and atmosphere are important elements of her work and the influence of the Mediterranean light continues to permeate her semi-abstract paintings.

About Artwey September Open Studios in Weymouth and Portland 2009
Every weekend in September 2009 Weymouth & Portland artists opened their studios for the public to visit.
It was a rare opportunity to meet visual artists such as painters, sculptors and potters in their natural environment! Visitors looked at their work and talked to the creators.
They bought or commissioned artworks and found out about future events such as exhibitions and workshops.
The Weymouth Museum at Brewers Quay hosted an exhibition of work by all the artists, open 7 days a week.
The event was supported by an A2 sized fold out Route Map, with details of the venues, together with this website. These First Edition Route Maps are now collectors items! They can still be used, together with this website to contact artists.
Artwey wishes to thank Alan Rogers, The Weymouth & Portland Arts Officer, for his help and the Weymouth & Portland Partnership and Creative Dorset for their encouragement and financial assistance.
The new website is a must see at Weymouth and Portland Partnership
