- Venue:
- Emerald Frames and Gallery, Workshop 1, Blay’s House Churchfield Road Chalfont St Peter SL9 9EW
- Following a recent residency at Emerald Frames & Gallery in Chalfont St Peter, I’m delighted to return with a brand-new series of four 30cm mixed-media original paintings featured in their summer exhibition, The Tender Future. This collection explores a modern folk-art aesthetic—warm, optimistic, and full of story. Through a vibrant palette of ochre, teal, and coral, these pieces blend raw botanical observation with playful, stylised patterns and intuitive pencil marks. It's a joyful celebration of everyday magic built to bring a bright, characterful energy to any home. Original works from this showcase are available to purchase directly through the gallery in Chalfont St Peter.
