I was so happy to meet up with the lovely artist Su Jolly at the exhibition of her work yesterday. Su painted the cover picture for my Gothic novel Erosion. The photo above shows the pair of us holding a copy of the book surrounded by some of her stunning watercolours, mainly showing the Kent coast and countryside.
My novel is set in Kent, and while I was writing it I was also seeing Su share pictures of scenes she was painting. Her art so much matched my vision of the landscapes described in Erosion, that I asked if she would do a cover picture for me, and I was delighted when she agreed.
Su's current exhibition is called Hiraeth, which is Welsh for "longing", and is part of South East Open Studios and the Canterbury Festival. The venue is Creek Creative, 1 Abbey Street, Faversham, Kent. It runs until 26 October. If you're in the area, or fancy a day out at a beautiful historic Kent town, not too far from Canterbury and the coastal towns of Whitstable, Herne Bay, Ramsgate, and Margate, I very much recommend popping in to have a look at Su's paintings. Admission is free. You can find out more here: www.facebook.com/events/1483324266223810/
You can also see Su's art online at her website: www.sujollyartist.com/
