Artist of the Month
MOIRA HAZEL
Yellow, Black and White Vases, by Moira Hazel
Our Artist of the Month is Moira Hazel, who celebrates with a vibrant short collection of Still Life paintings.
Moira’s energetic new work draws from a vast array of influences across her life, from her travels to gardening. She gathers ideas for her flower vessels from real life, magazines, dress patterns and scarves, creating eye-catching compositions reflecting a joyful world. The aim is not to depict reality, but instead capture the beauty and inspiration of the life that surrounds us.

Porthleven 74 (Storm Eye) by Ashley Hanson
This Autumn we are celebrating Ashley Hanson’s milestone 100th painting in his long-running series exploring the Cornish coastal town, Porthleven.
A small town with only a few thousand residents, abstract painter Ashley Hanson depicts Porthleven from all angles, representing everything from the clock tower to the local pub. His thickly textured paintings make great use of gesture and movement to capture the thrum of energy that is apparent in the town, his bold use of colour amplifying the impact. Known for its sweeping sunsets where the sun cuts right down through the centre of the harbour, his paintings often immerse you in deep warm tones reflecting this sumptuous view.
KMA Gallery is pleased to host a rich selection of paintings from this vivacious and enigmatic series, curated by Kellie Miller.

THE GALLERY
2023
by David Hayward
Original Encaustic on Panel (framed)
David is primarily an abstract painter, but he uses his interest in the morphology of landscapes and the peculiarities of specific locations to inform his work. In his most recent body of work, this translates as a painterly contemplation on the marginality of shorelines and estuaries with their horizontal delineations of air, water and land and the transient nature of weather, erosion and the detritus of tidelines.
