10 Artists, 5 venues
Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August 2020, 10am – 4pm each day
This weekend is the first MARLOW ART TRAIL, created by a group of local artists who have a passion for
their work and wanting to share it with us.
It all sounds a fantastic idea, and one of the organisers, Keith Clarke told MyMarlow: “The hope is to make this an annual event and we have had several enquiries from additional artists who would like to join in next year” . There is even a fantastic competition to win some of the artworks!
How does the trail work?
- Runs Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August 2020, 10am – 4pm each day
- Each artist has an open studio or an outdoor area displaying work.

Monique Sharp – 118 Marlow Bottom Road, Marlow SL7 3PH
Over the years Monique has branched out and acquired more modern techniques in alternative art forms, turning more towards the abstract world. Painting on canvas has been one of them, then more recently I discovered “Resin Art” painting with its various techniques and mediums as an abstract work. It is certainly very different to conventional work but very exciting and also extremely rewarding, if not always completely predictable.
