The focus of Maggie Howe’s current work explores form, line and light. Classic genres like still life, portraiture and landscape are a point of departure for abstracted monoprints, ceramics and assemblages . The muted colours and layered forms of her unique monoprints are inspired by 20th century British printmakers and artists, such as Charles Shearer, Ben Nicholson and Peter Green. The large scale work ‘Portrait of You’ is the second of a series of abstract portraits that consider how we allow others to see us.

The work of Elizabeth Lee is influenced by fascination in the use of colour and expressionism such as in the works of Wassily Kandinski and Johann Christian Dahl. The “uncanny” often determines her figurative work and artists such as Ithel Colquhoun have inspired her. For this exhibition she has concentrated on a series of landscapes loosely based on images of Snowdonia, examining the effect of light on the mountains and the water.

Mandy Scott is an artist working across painting, print, and 3D forms. Her practice explores themes of home, safety, and vulnerability, examining how spaces—though often intended to nurture and protect—can be fragile and easily disrupted by external forces such as violence, power, and circumstance. Scott’s work moves fluidly between the idea of home as a physical structure, the people who inhabit and shape these spaces, and the surrounding rural and urban environments. Through this, she investigates how nurturing can persist—even within systems marked by control, inequality, and disruption.
