Nathalie Guinamard will be providing a demonstration for members of the Dunmow Art Group on 17 September at Foakes Hall. Nathalie Guinamard is an award-winning figurative artist based in Chelmsford, working primarily in ink. Her practice explores the tension between representation and abstraction, using water and accidental marks to dissolve and distort the human figure. She studied Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Drawing and went on to complete a Postgraduate Diploma at Chelsea College of Art. Nathalie’s work has been shortlisted for several prestigious awards, including the Jerwood Drawing Prize, the National Open Art Competition, and the ING Discerning Eye. She has exhibited in a range of prominent shows, including ARTfutures, the Red Mansion Art Prize exhibition—following a residency in Beijing—and at Alan Cristea Gallery, where she was featured alongside three other emerging artists. In 2012, Nathalie was one of 30 artists commissioned by the Royal Mail to design a special edition stamp celebrating the London Olympic Games The demonstration will be held on 17 September 2025 in the Foakes Hall in Great Dunmow between 7.30 pm and 9.30pm. The cost is £1 for members of Dunmow Art Group and £10 for non-members. Dunmow Art Group has a long history of supporting artists and art lovers in and around Dunmow and has a regular programme of weekly art meetings and monthly visiting artists.
