Holly Frean’s work is full of playful glimpses into the lives of artists and the history of art. Her colourful paintings are infused with a lightness of statement and spirit. Often, she explores the possibilities of building up pictures from multiple images arranged in a formal grid, to form unique patterns.

Set inside a canvas marquee, the studio boasts a classroom space, exhibition shop and reception. From life drawing to graphic illustration, paper sculpture to collage, screen printing to lomography, Wilderness are working with contemporary partners to deliver art classes with a difference.

Wilderness Festival will take place this summer from 6 – 9 August in Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire.
