ADUR ART TRAIL, June 2026

As a Committee Member of Adur Art Collective, Lois is involved with putting together the annual Adur Art Trail, involving over 100 professional artists across 30 venues. Plus she initiates year-round commercial sponsorships and membership benefits. Most years Lois shows her own artwork at trail venues, this year she is running workshops during the trail instead - as she is illustrating a book, working on commercial creative marketing contracts, contributing to international academic illustration research projects, and planning shows in Somerset and London for autumn and winter. See details about the 2026 Adur Art Trail this June.

CAPTURING OLD SHOREHAM, MARLIPINS MUSEUM, MAY-JULY 2026

An illustrated zine created by participants from Lois' workshop 'Illustrate a Story & Make a Zine' tells the story of Esther Waters - from a Victorian novel based in Shoreham - and is on display at the Marlipins Museum.

2026-7 autumn & winter shows in London and Somerset will appear at this page soon.
