Situated in UNESCO World Heritage site, Saltaire (Shipley, Yorkshire) you are welcomed to Saltaire Art Gallery & School’s 2024 Summer Exhibition, which opens on Friday 10 May.

Comprising 19 artists, the Summer Exhibition showcases standout work from our respective practices, including two landscapes from my ‘Rooted Collection’. Painted ‘en plein air’ with finishing details in the studio, ‘Lock 6' (Marple) and ‘Drift’ (Torrs Gorge, New Mills) are inspired by a need for escape amidst the interior chaos of new motherhood: each painting documents an exploration of a new route with my daughter.

As a nurturing artistic destination, Saltaire Art School offers high-quality tuition to the close-knit community of Saltaire and beyond, and led to the opening of the associated Gallery. It is well worth a visit for a fabulous range of art, in amongst gorgeous scenery.
