Paintings by Lisa Parkyn
Saturday 2nd to Sunday 17th March
Lisa Parkyn is a contemporary abstract artist originally from arid Botswana, in contrast she now works from her home studio in East Devon surrounded by lush countryside and nearby Jurassic coastline. She has always had a deep affinity with nature which serves as a wellspring of inspiration throughout the seasons. Her work includes references of landscape, flowers and figures and is linked to intuitive drawing, mark-making, layering as well as expressive and gestural brushstrokes. She utilises her sensory and emotional response to subject matter. She primarily creates with acrylics, pastels, charcoal, and collage on canvas, paper, or wood. Her latest work is looser, vibrant and more expressive, fuelled by Lisa’s passion for exploration and play.

Stitched Up!
Monday 11th to Sunday 24th March
This exhibition will be an eclectic mix of colourful, textile artworks

A variety of techniques are used including painting, printing and
dyeing fabrics, dry felting with the embellisher, and hand and
machine stitching.
There will be 2D and 3D items, hangings and framed pictures, as
well as cards for sale in the Little Gallery.

Picking Up the Pieces
Saturday 23rd March - Sunday 14th April
This is an annual group mosaic exhibition where artists select their own subjects so there is no particular theme in the body of artwork. The exhibition celebrates the creative expression achieved by mosaic artists based in the South West.
In 2 Minds
Kathy Hallsworth and Charles Hallsworth
Monday 25th March - Sunday 7th April
Producing art is a very personal activity based on the experiences and interpretations ofthe world that surrounds us. So it's not surprising that artists create many varying images and responses based on observation, emotions, memories, connections, skills and more...
This exhibition juxtaposes the work of two individual artists who have shared experiences of life together for more than 40 years. One may think that living together and sharing so many experiences that our art would have many common
interpretations, but I'm not so sure. We hope the impression of this shared exhibition is thought provoking, challenging, entertaining and amusing for you the audience as well for both of us.
