Northern Sky
Kate Wickham’s paintings gravitate to the North, where she was born. Her work examines the industrial history of Yorkshire, highlighting its notable contributions to Britain’s industrial success in steel, coal, and textiles.
A Riot of Colour
Moira Hazel's compositions explore the interplay between abstraction and reality, reimagining the world around her through dynamic patterns and forms. She draws inspiration from the textures and rhythms of nature—landscapes, plants, reflections, rock formations, and even the shapes of buildings or pieces of fabric.
One of those Days
Elizabeth Price’s characterful sculptures are highly sought-after and collected worldwide. Her figures are predominantly female, with an occasional signature male figure accompanying her ladies as a support act.
In the Eye of the Beholder

Forbidden Fruits
Remon Jephcott's decaying ceramic fruits are both poignant and beautiful. They tell stories of mortality, female fertility, human corruption and inevitable life changes. Her exquisite apples, cherries and pears are cast, carved and expertly finished using lustrous glazes that attract us as any ripe fruit would. With seductive, pear-shaped forms, fractured cherries and mottled apples, Remon finds beauty in fallen fruits and metaphorically discusses female sexuality. Each piece screams that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Never Twice
Felicity Warbrick's art represents nature and, in contrast, what it means to be human. She features found objects and photos, dwellings, and natural items like trees, twigs, and branches.
There’s Still Life/Afterlife
Alison Coaten's sculptures connect with the thread of folklore (folk = people, lore = knowledge), linking us to people's stories, traditions, and cultures passed down through the generations by various means of expression. She is fascinated by the human desire to make sense of existence through religion, myth, and folklore, as well as the use of art to create concrete images of worship in the form of icons and idols.
Once a (Wo)man Twice a Child
Sensory art is a great learning tool for children in their early developmental years. However, sensory art can also be used as a memory mechanism for adults.
Annabel Munn's latest collection does just that by exploring the world of Alzheimer's.
