The Purple Days Exhibition is an exhibition of work created by artists with lived experience of Epilepsy. The preview evening will be held on the 26 March - Purple Day - the national day for Epilepsy Awareness, and you’re invited!

The preview will be open between 7 - 9pm, and we encourage all who attend to wear a little (or a lot) of purple!

As well as raising awareness, this exhibition is about raising funds for Epilepsy Action, a UK charity improving the lives of people affected by epilepsy. 50% of profits from every artwork sale will be donated towards the charity.

‘Iris’ (Acrylic on canvas board, 42 x 31.8cm)

£300

A proud purple-blue Iris, created as a respite as part of a series of botanical focusing on the beauty of natural forms in the middle of national lockdown, 2020.

‘Brabyn’s, Marple Bridge’ (Acrylic on canvas board, 15.5 x 20.6cm)

£225

Captured just as the leaves were disappearing at the start of winter, the warmth of the foliage is a perfect foil to the soft purple-grey of the shadowed path. This quiet view of Brabyn’s Park, Marple Bridge, is part of a series of landscapes recalling walks with my daughter. Each piece reminders me to take time to enjoy the moment, even when life rushes you along.
