Creativity is a Right not a Privilege
I was recently invited to contribute to an ITV Meridian feature about encouraging and supporting young people from deprived backgrounds to engage with the arts.
Things I must not say or do
When we first encounter Jemma Gowland's artworks, we are drawn to their delicate and beautiful appearance. These small to medium-scaled sculptures echo the figurines adorning the shelves of your grandmother's house—inviting and collectable figures that cheer any home. On closer inspection, though, these sculptures speak of loss, introspection and fragility.
Let us shine brightly
As the year comes to an end, we want to invite you to a warming exhibition that promises to bring us light.
The selected artworks radiate a message that warms our hearts, brightens our souls, and makes life worth living.
Ancient Landscapes
"Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance."
– Charles Lindbergh
For centuries artists and artisans have been inspired by the world's landscapes. Their interpreted views of their environments have eroded in time and thus changed.
Reclaimed Exhibition
Climate change is a reality–we can witness the changing weather patterns in our daily lives. It's June here in the UK, and we have yet to experience our summer.
Welcome to the Imaginarium
The Imaginarium exhibition invites you to step into a space devoted to the creative imagination—a world most artists inhabit, where ideas are manifested, and magic happens.
Proud to be...
As a black British woman, you are born resilient, and you have to have a fighting spirit of pushing through. I'm proud to have pursued a creative path—a difficult road to walk for any person, regardless of colour.
Imprint Exhibition
Our second exhibition of 2021 presents a lively conversation of original print from a selection of artists who approach print techniques uniquely through their work. My interest is in exploring the novel qualities of art printworks.
