I am taking my Two Stops Short of Dagenham collection to Navistitch in Manningtree. I will be there from 7th May to 8th June and am sharing the space with some other artists, so there will be a lot to see (and also some special offers)!
The gallery hours are Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4pm or open by appointment outside of these times.
Coming soon! A couple of paintings and some prints in the Navistitch Spring Exhibition - details in the image!
I am thrilled to be participating in this colourful feast for the eyes in a lovely venue in Manningtree. See Navistitch’s website for more details.
It’s going to be a busy summer, so much so I’ve had some flyers printed to distribute far and wide! Here are some dates for your diary 😎 - please contact me for the Open Studio address, or check on the Suffolk Open Studios website.
I am auctioning a painting via eBay in aid of the Disasters Emergency Committee Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal.
The painting on offer is Infinity 4 from my To Infinity and Beyond Collection. This is an original abstract acrylic painting on a 30cm x 30cm thin edge canvas. The painting is varnished, strung and ready to hang. It is offered unframed giving the buyer the choice of either getting it framed to their specification or hanging unframed.
I will donate 100% of the sale price to DEC.
To participate in the auction, please go to my eBay listing. The auction is open for the next ten days, and please feel free to circulate the link to anyone you think might be interested.
The images below show the painting and an illustration of what it could look like hung in your home using the InsituArtRooms app, but note it is only the painting that I’m offering (I don’t have a room or any cacti to sell 😂).
Infinity 4
So pleased that my painting “Infinity 2” was chosen for the Art at the Beach poster for this year! Art at the Beach is an exhibition held at Felixstowe beach in Beach Street, Felixstowe on Saturday 3rd June. I will have a stand there and will have many paintings, prints and cards and other small works available for you to take home.
For more information, keep an eye on the organiser’s website: The Gallery Box Art and my social media feeds :)
Many thanks to the organisers!
I was lucky enough to have “Relics of the Mind 1” selected for the Institute of East Anglian Artists Annual Open Exhibition at The Gallery in Holt - here are some images from the exhibition:
And of course I was thrilled to receive this lovely encouragement from the organisers after the show:
I have a joint exhibition coming up in October with two other brilliant abstract artists Marian Lishman and Jo Clavier at The Craft House in Woodbridge - don’t miss the Meet the Artists evening on Wednesday 12th October 6-8pm! I will be showing a selection of original paintings from my “Two Stops Short of Dagenham”, “The Art of Noise”, “Relics of the Mind” and “To Infinity and Beyond” collections, plus prints, cards and hand-painted fridge magnets. The exhibition will run from Wednesday 12th October to Tuesday 18th October 2022 from 10am to 5pm and the gallery will be manned by at least one of us at all times! If you want to come and talk to me, I will be there from 1pm - 5pm every day.
The date is set for my next and (sadly) only open weekend this year (although studio visits by appointment can be arranged separately). The dates are Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th July 11am - 4pm.
Open weekends are a chance for you to visit my studio and see both completed works and paintings in progress. I am currently working on a new collection that will be unveiled next year, so you will get a chance to see how that’s coming on and a sneak preview! I also keep a range of prints, cards, and fridge magnets. There is no obligation to buy anything, it’s always lovely to meet and chat with people who like abstract art. If you came last year, please come back again as you will be able to see my new studio space and it’s a chance for us to catch up!
There is no need to make an appointment during this opening time, we can remain socially distanced if necessary and we can wear masks if you are more comfortable with that, and spare masks, gloves and sanitiser will be available. I have had all my COVID 19 vaccinations. Please let me know if you would like me to take any additional precautions.
Of course it goes without saying, please do not come if you think you may have Covid 19; visits can always be arranged separately at a later date.
I am located in Felixstowe opposite the tennis club in Bath Road, and I will give you the exact address if you message me or send me an email through my contact form. But you may have already seen the paintings in my front window!
My what3words location is: season.shade.turns
Other things you need to know:
there might also be one or more builders coming and going and/or my husband
I have 4 cats and a dog, and although I will do my best to put them in a different room, there could be escapees. If you have allergies, please take your own precautions as necessary and also please let me know in advance, especially if you are nervous around animals
because of house renovations, I am unable to provide access to a toilet; there are amenities located on the seafront a two-minute walk from my house
wheelchair access could be difficult, this has never been tested (my gallery space is on the ground floor and my studio is on the first floor).
Thank you and look forward to meeting you!
Like many artists, I am donating some paintings to raise funds for Ukraine. I will shortly be dropping off a small painting and four fridge magnets to The Gallery Box in Felixstowe to support them with their Ukraine appeal. I hope you are able to stop by and see the amazing efforts by local artists to help.
I have big big plans for painting projects for the next couple of years!! Which means I need to make space. You can help do that by bagging yourself a colourful bargain from my ETSY shop:
https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AlisonAdcockArt
And enter the code HOTFEB22 at checkout to get 10% discount. The discount code is valid for all UK orders over £15 from now until the end of Feb. All prices include UK P&P.
But if you are local, message me instead, we can sort something out!
For orders outside of the UK, please contact me, I will need to check delivery rates.
The last open weekend went so well, I have decided to make this a regular event. Although this November one will be the last one before Christmas, so a good opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done (or I can rustle up a gift voucher if you are nervous about choosing a painting for someone else).
Open weekends are a chance for you to visit my studio… ahem… kitchen… and see paintings in progress, finished works, prints, cards, fridge magnets etc. There is no obligation to buy anything, it’s always lovely to meet and chat with people who like abstract art!
At the last weekend, I started selling cards and some figure studies by other artists; this proved very successful, so I’ve expanded that approach and will also be stocking cards and paintings by amazing artists: Lisa Rippon, Lois Cordelia, Loraine Wilson, Jo Clavier, Mandy Renton, Marian Lishman, and Mary Biddlecombe. Who knows, maybe this is the early stages of my own gallery business!
There is no need to make an appointment during this opening time, however in light of the continuing situation, threats of firebreaks and so on, we will remain socially distanced if necessary, we can wear masks if you are more comfortable with that, and spare masks, gloves and sanitiser will be available. I have had both my COVID 19 vaccinations, and I also do rapid lateral flow testing regularly.
Of course it goes without saying, please do not come if you think you may have Covid 19; visits can always be arranged separately at a later date.
I am located in Felixstowe, and I will give you the exact address if you message me or send me an email through my contact form. But you may have already seen the paintings in my front window!

The open days I had in June with Suffolk Open Studios were so much fun that I have decided to have an open weekend October: Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th October from 11am to 5pm. This is an opportunity for you to visit my studio… ahem… kitchen… and see paintings in progress, finished works, prints, cards, fridge magnets etc. There is no obligation to buy anything, it’s always lovely to meet and chat with people who like abstract art!
And you will get a chance to see and get first dibs on my growing “Two Stops Short of Dagenham” story for real.. well at least the story so far … 😂

I’m really thrilled to have some paintings accepted by the George Farnham Gallery in Saxmundham and I’m super honoured to be in the same room as other brilliant Suffolk artists. The gallery has taken six paintings from my “To Infinity and Beyond” collection and now has them hanging! They also have some of my greetings cards. For more information please see: https://thegeorgefarnhamgallery.uk/ or pay them a visit!
I was super happy to have an interview about my artwork, connections with Felixstowe and Suffolk Open Studios published in the Felixstowe Magazine. You can read it here!

I am super pleased to be participating in Suffolk Open Studios for the first time this year. Or in my case.. Suffolk Open Kitchen…. this is an opportunity to see how I work (I can do small demos), browse work that is currently available and ready to take home (including cards and smaller pieces) and have a chat about painting or discuss the colour scheme for that commission you’ve been dreaming about!
I will be opening by appointment limiting to two people maximum from the same household or group at a time. Single person slots will not be double booked. We will be able to remain socially distanced if necessary, I will wear a mask and gloves, and ask people to wear masks. Spare masks, gloves and sanitiser will be available. I have had both my COVID 19 vaccinations, and I also do rapid lateral flow testing regularly.
Hourly appointments are available from 10am - 5pm (last appointment at 4pm) for each Saturday and Sunday in June.
Please contact me or send me a message via social media (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) to reserve a slot in advance. I will not be able to accommodate visitors without an appointment. If you book an appointment and later change your mind, or experience symptoms of Covid 19, please let me know so that I can free up the slot. Of course it goes without saying, please do not come if you think you may have Covid 19; visits can always be arranged separately at a later date.
I am located in Felixstowe, and I will give you the exact address when you book. But you may have already seen the paintings in my window!

sadly, because of the current situation, I am unable to provide tea/coffee or make toilet facilities available; I will have some bottled water handy (there are toilets and cafes on the seafront which is a very short walk from my house)
wheelchair access could be difficult, this has never been tested
Thank you and look forward to meeting you!
I was really thrilled to win a prize awarded by Suffolk Artlink and donated by Cass Art for my Relics of the Mind 2 painting exhibited in the Suffolk Open Studios online exhibition. The prize was for Making a Difference; the panel loved the colours and felt emotionally moved by the painting. BIG thank to everyone involved! The exhibition is on until 7 May 2021.
