    Celebrate the next generation of Colchester’s artists in this dynamic, two-part exhibition from students at University Centre Colchester.

    This exhibition unfolds in two stages, offering a unique insight into the artistic journey:

    “To Be Continued” presents a selection of previous, current, and recent works. This first phase invites audiences behind the scenes, revealing the ideas, experimentation, and evolution shaping each artist’s practice.

    In June, the exhibition will transform to showcase the students’ final degree submissions.

    Colchester has long been a hub of creativity – from its rich history of art societies and schools to its influence on wider culture. Today, that legacy continues through emerging artists pushing boundaries across disciplines.

    About the artist

    Ash Barrett
    Ash is an artist based in Southend-on-Sea. Combining the principles of mindfulness with the aesthetics of minimalism, his paintings invite viewers to pause and find the harmony in the now.


    Sherry Bélizaire
    Sherry works across painting, drawing, and sculpture and explores the relationship between identity and humanity’s growing separation from the natural world.

    Influenced by indigenous cultures rooted in ecological balance, her work responds to this loss of connection in a world increasingly dominated by politics and consumerism.

    Belle Femme Artisan
    Belle weaves a world of decadence and beauty, evoking the grandeur of the Baroque era. Her works are imbued with a sense of intrigue and danger, embodying the essence of the femme fatale.

    Gail Singleton Parkes
    Gail specialises in work at the intersection of small-scale sculpture and jewellery. She uses a wide range of mediums and techniques to craft her works, each designed to convey unique, subtle but nonetheless powerful messages.

    Elaine Sutton
    Elaine Sutton is a multi-disciplinary artist working across ceramics, photography, and print. Her practice is shaped by a personal vocabulary of fluid movements, where form and fragility intertwine.

    About University Centre Colchester (UCC)
    UCC focus is on developing an environment where student imagination and creativity can flourish, in studios and workshops that are equipped to offer opportunities to express and realise ideas and ambitions.
