Last Days

‘Shadows and Light’
Brenda Bryant

15 January – 25 February

Opening 26 February

‘Close Encounters of the Bird Kind’
Amy Carroll

Amy’s show, which consists of 7-bird and 3-butterfly watercolour paintings, is nothing less than exquisite. The fine detail is captivating.
Amy’s art invites us to slow down. To look. To be mindful of the beauty in our natural environment.
These paintings are not Amy’s ‘impressions’ of the natural world, they are the result of deep looking and curiosity.
When Amy paints a bird, they aren’t perched on a non-specific branch, they are painted in a tree or bush in which they roost and feed.
Amy’s birds and butterflies are specific studies. As she explains, ‘they are a nod to the historical art of botanical illustration’.
They offer an authenticity in an age of compromised images.
