Disparate Images presents recent works by three Dorset artists with different voices and working in a variety of media.

“The Call of Wild Africa” and the magnificent elephant, “Comment on Current Affairs” and “The Empty Brain” are our individual inspirational springs.

Individually we have exhibited locally, in London and abroad.

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.

“We are the Art Group attached to the Arts Centre and we meet in the Centre on Monday afternoons.  All abilities and ages are welcome.  We have tutors to instruct us in all the different types of drawing and painting throughout the year.”

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.

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.

A diverse exhibition from five artists:

• Pennie Elfick’s abstract paintings and sculptures 
• Phil Drew’s organic blown glass sculptures inspired by Dale Chihuly 
• Hilary Turnbull’s abstract images created in mixed media 
• Kirsten Palmer’s work explores the relation between photography and mixed media and Andy Palmer’s drawings of life on the canals.

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.
