 Welcome to this special edition of The Grateful Web: Rogue Studios 30@30 celebrating 30 years of Rogue Artists’ Studios in Manchester. 


On this episode I’m thrilled to be chatting with Jen Orpin


Jen lives and works in Manchester, she’s been a member of Rogue Studios since 2000 and is a Member of Manchester Academy of Fine Arts. 

She co-founded Rogue Women in 2019 and is the founder of A Small Space collective. 

Her motorway paintings have featured in several publications including the Guardian online and twice in the Observer’s New Review and on BBC Radio 6music and ITVX. As well as being selected and invited into group shows across the UK and abroad, she’s also exhibited at art fairs in Manchester, London, South Korea and has had solo shows in Manchester, London and Seoul. She’s currently exhibiting in ‘Rolling, Action…Paint! in Norway and has been selected for the three previous Royal Academy Summer Shows. Her work is held in private collections both here and internationally and in two UK public collections, including the New Art Gallery Walsall and Manchester Art Gallery where you’ll find her painting hanging in the Lowry and Valette room.
