Artist Rachel Goodyear joined the Suite crit for the day. “I was delighted to have been invited to join the Suite Studios group crit. The artistic discussion was insightful and inspiring and the shortbread was second to none. Whatever stage in artistic development you are, group crits continue to be so important; also, for a solitary worker like myself, the opportunity to voice ideas and gain honest feedback from old art friends and new ones alike is so invaluable. It was so helpful to be able to reflect on recent works and discuss the possibilities of where it will all go next. It was also a great chance for me to share my newest sketches. I am not in the habit of showing these raw and ‘private’ drawings, but it was such a perfect environment to give them an airing – a place that I trusted would be direct and spark very creative discussion. I came away buzzing with ideas and caffeine and it was incredibly useful. Hope you’ll have me again!”
