Andrea Jenkins draws on a lifetime of engagement with art to express ideas in a variety of styles and two-dimensional mediums. 

From expressing concern for the environment through close observation to showing her enjoyment of exploring colour, composition and mark making in abstract painting, Andrea demonstrates her versatility in this solo exhibition.

Angela’s exhibition will also be open on Sunday 18 April, 10am – 4pm.

Our work is as diverse as our characters coming as we do from different backgrounds. However, we share a mutual love of art in all its forms and interpretations. In this exhibition we aim to capture the spirit of relationships and connections through the natural elements that bind them.

Our exhibition will also be open on Sunday 25 April, 10am – 4pm.

Pearl’s Land, Sea and Floral series are based on observations and drawing of nature. Contemporary oils and acrylics with a poetic bias and Japanese influence. Rich, expressive colours together with space and movement in a structured composition, strive to capture the essence of her subject.

They are paintings to live with.

Helen Baddeley, Brady Turner and Jane Barnard have colour at the heart of their practice to express their feelings about landscape and the world around them. Although varied in media and styles, they have a delight in making work that is expressive and powerful. This exhibition is the first time they have shown together. 

Wessex landscapes have great appeal and walking, camping and sketching prompt ideas, forming the basis for paintings based largely on mood and memory. I have been much influenced by a year’s Diploma Course at the Norfolk Painting School which stresses a grounding on traditional techniques. 

Dorset printmakers Jayne Soakell & Sarah Humby have been exploring the Dorset countryside and coastline for many years.  

Field Trips is an exhibition of new work based on expeditions into the landscape made before and after lockdown. A mixture of studio work and drawings made directly in the field.

They say that every picture tells a story – packed with tantalisingly touchable textures, that is certainly the case with my felt pictures.   

Being a Shaftesbury girl my felted observations of community life provide a fresh, new burst of energy and originality to scenes with which we are all too familiar.

My starting point is always a love of drawing landscapes -but this sometimes develops into surreal or semi-abstract treatments.  

The North Cornish coast is a favourite area as well as the Jurassic Coast, not to mention woods near Bull Mill.

Stephen is a painter and ceramicist inspired by the sea and landscape surrounding his home on Portland, Dorset.

Holly produces mixed media 2D and 3D work combining acrylic with stitch. She is also inspired by the landscape and natural world around her.

The exploration of light plays a very important role in Sue’s work. She enjoys capturing moments of translucence and opaqueness. Although based in London, Sue has also lived in Somerset for the past 25 years. Many of her paintings of fauna and landscapes are evoked from travels through Wiltshire and Somerset.
