Exhibitions, a sale of art and a fundraiser have been organised by three close friends of a Ramsgate artist who tragically died by suicide last year.
Lucy Troubridge, Ruth Rollason and Russell Chater, who are also artists, have organised the events to raise money for Arts in Ramsgate and East Kent Mind in memory of Peter A Leigh.
Peter, a prolific and talented artist, died aged 59 in October 2022 following the death of his partner David.
He left behind more than 200 pieces of his work which have been given in trust to the three friends by his family.
The sale of the artworks will raise money for the two charities “giving Peter the legacy he deserves, and for something positive to come from this tragic story.”
A Go Fund Me page has been set up for those who would like to donate to the charities: https://gofund.me/59ff3e74
Peter’s instagram is still open @peter_a_leigh_art to see examples of his work.
WET LAND by Sukey Sleeper
16 August – 3 September, The Lido Stores Cliftonville
Private view 7pm-9pm Sat 19 August
The Lido Stores present a solo exhibition of work by Sukey Sleeper, winner of The Lido Open 2022.
Wet Land brings together a collection of works made in response to the New River, an artificial waterway that runs from Hertfordshire to London supplying the city with fresh drinking water for over 400 years. While the remains of the New River can be followed all the way down to Clerkenwell, since 1946 the channel has completed its journey at the East Reservoir in Stoke Newington, next to where the artist lives.
Since moving to the area, Sukey has been visiting the site to walk, swim, and make drawings and paintings to take back to the studio and shape into new compositions. Part informed by observation and part by literature and storytelling, these paintings document a year of life at a meeting point of land and water at the edges of the city.
Sukey Sleeper was the winner of The Lido Open 2022. For the past five years, she has lived and worked in London where she studied painting at Turps Art school 2020-22. Prior to this, she studied Classics at the University of Cambridge 2011-15 and Fine Art at Brighton and Hove City College 2010-11.

Drawing Life from Words: Gary Dadd
August 18-22, Pie Factory Gallery in Margate, open 10.30am to 5.30pm daily
Gary has a unique method of drawing by bending his handwriting to form a portrait – often with such detail that at first glance the viewer doesn’t realise they are looking at the written word.
This exhibition showcases people to celebrate: creatives, scientists, writers and leaders. Whatever the icon’s background, Gary finds ways to incorporate meaning through both text and the visual to create a distinctive and inimitable effect. He has exhibited in London, Cambridge and Los Angeles and has sold artwork across the world.
This exhibition showcases his latest new works and a selection of limited and open edition prints from his catalogue.
‘Selfish Crab’ Kids Book Reading & Workshop
August 18, 11am, Crab Museum, 9 Broad Street Margate
Join author Anya Glazer and Crab Museum for a book reading and drawing workshop! Bring Your Own Pillow!
A little about the book: Claude has the most beautiful shell of all the crabs on the beach. It makes him feel special and he’s determined never, ever to part with it. Of course, hermit crabs change their shells as they grow – in fact they often swap with each other.
But when it’s time to swap, Claude says ‘NO!’. His decision spins the hermit crab community into chaos and it means that little Alphonso’s shell is much too big.
At the seaside this is dangerous. Can Claude give up his selfish ways in time to save his friend?
Reading age 3 to 8
This is a BYOP event (Bring Your Own Pillow)

Fiona de Bulat, Joanna Hyslop and Molly Okell
Laurent Delaye Gallery,1 Addington Street, Ramsgate
Now until September 3
This show presents three women artists who are in their own different ways looking at colour and structure.
As a colourist and printmaker Fiona de Bulat looks at the organic forms, layers of saturations and transparency to achieve nature inspired abstract tableaux and themes related to the memory of places, past and forgotten. T
The intimate and distant coexist in Joanna Hyslop’s paintings. Patterns obtained through touch, by taking prints from her own palm, offer something distinctly personal, yet universal.
Molly Okell is a printmaker and sculptor playing with systematic structures and their tensions with free forms, using linocut, lithography, etching, drypoint, collage and steel.
All three artists live and work in Thanet.
