Miraculously, creative spirit has survived as the dominant force even among today’s occupants, one of whom is the textile artist Pauline Caulfield, whose large, vivid-hued, abstract and illusionistic silk-screen printed works tread a fine line between art and design. Pauline has rented this particular studio, like those other artists before her, for almost fifty years, fifteen of them with her former husband, the Pop Art-associated painter and printmaker Patrick Caulfield. The other, larger half simultaneously performs as dining room, party room, exhibition space and, of course, studio - first to Patrick and, since he left in the late 1980s - to Pauline.
