Richard Watts, Jane Henderson, Laura Nyahuye, Elizabeth Meggyesi, Karen Blake, Siobhan Howatson, Louise Cook & David Mumby
Karen Blake
Karen is a landscape painter and book artist. Her paintings seek to express the forces that shape and animate spaces, their colours and dynamism. She is inspired by Scotland’s wild west.
Louise Cook
Louise’s work focuses on the meeting point of two seemingly competing elements, the built and man-made environment and the natural world. In her paintings she investigates the frequently unkempt and forgotten places.
David Mumby
David’s paintings, drawings, prints and stained glass draw from personal moments revealed in the landscape, walking alone in woods and gardens, found objects, beach-combing. His intimate artists books merge poetry and images.
Jane Henderson
Jane’s hand built sculptural pots, inspired by the seashores of Orkney and Devon, reveal Jane’s fascination with surface textured patina, which are explored in her use of gorged stoneware, engobes and dry glazes.
Richard Watts
Richard’s terraced house is enfolded in gardens that wrap around the house and take us on a journey through a series of four interlinked spaces. With exuberant, relaxed planting, and hills and valleys that keep us close to each bloom, explore a garden with a house in it… Come and explore!
Siobhan Howatson
Siobhan’s current practice tackles the forever changing landscape, highlighting the collision between nature and the discarded rubbish that blights our woodland roadside and seashore.
Elizabeth Meggyesi
Elizabeth is a local florist. Her floral style is garden-gathered and beautifully whimsical. Come and join her for a one to one workshop and create your own bud vase of seasonal blooms to take away. 16 & 17 May only.
Laura Nyahuye
My work is influenced by my lived experience as a migrant woman, of African heritage, fusing poetic self-expression, creative writing and centuries-old textile handicrafts to create sculptural body adornments, wearable pieces and sculptural pieces.
