‘Common Ground’, Henley-on-Thames, August 2025

This was a collaborative exhibition between myself, Wendy Reed Photographer and Gerry Coles Printmaker, held in Henley-on-Thames, August 2025.

We worked together to interpret 3 shared themes, including wild garlic, foxgloves and poppies especially for this show. And we showcased how our art complements each other with other shared themes of colour and seasons.

We knew each other from taking part in Oxfordshire Artweeks in Watlington in previous years. It became apparent that there were synergies between how we see and capture the world.

We all have a collective appreciation for nature and see similar themes and beauty in the local countryside and wildlife. We capture it differently in our respective mediums and styles but it all starts from a similar place of getting out in nature and looking for places and flora that inspire us.
