Studio shots with recent work before I move studios. Hoping to document my studio practice/ studio trials and experiments much more at my new studio. I will miss this studio a lot. There has been such a great community here! Tidying my studio I’ve found many drawings and collages will post them soon! Most of them will be for sale! Don’t fear haggling with me either - I offer great deals! 😏 Buying a drawing from me really does directly help me keep making things 🌆 Thank you so much to @sophie.u.crawford for taking these pictures ! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #artist#artiststudio #studio #penandinkdrawing

Meet The Artist at Artist Open House Lucinda Purkis Lucinda Purkis is a multi-disciplinary artist based in South-East London, working across drawing, collage, quilting, and writing. Committed to world-building, their practice weaves together personal and collective mythologies, exploring queer and trans subjectivities, devotional aesthetics, and the city as a heightened symbolic site of dreams and despair. Drawing from poetry, iconography, diaries, and subcultural ephemera, they construct evolving and expansive narratives. Lucinda Purkis joined Sonsoles as a member in 2025 and they have printed her artworks for her Master Program here. They also contributed to SPS’s Peckham Festival Zine by designing the event key visual interpreting the idea of love expression in all forms. Come to meet them and explore their artworks in vibrant colours and in forms of screen printing, paintings, zines and textile arts.  @kingkingstringball442 —- Sonsoles Print Studio x Dulwich Festival Artist Open House 2026  📅 9–10 May 2026 / 16–17 May 2026 ⏰ 11am–5pm 📍 Unit 11, Print Village, Chadwick Rd, Peckham Rye, London SE15 4PU Book your visit online in advance (link in bio) Visit our website for the full programme schedule @artistsopenhse #DulwichArtistsOpenHouse #ScreenPrinting #PrintStudio #Peckham
