The exhibition ‘Water’ showcases the latest creations by Lynn Ward and Jo Garlick, delving into their individual interpretations of the water motif. The presence of rivers, ponds, waterfalls, clouds, puddles, and the animals they contain serves as a source of inspiration for artists.

Their distinct artistic approaches harmonise to present a captivating showcase of the natural realm.

Lynn practices both oil and acrylic painting and draws significant inspiration from the surrounding scenery. She enjoys depicting motion and is attracted to the juxtaposition of light and dark, such as turbulent skies or the interplay of shapes and shadows formed by a gate or stone wall.

Jo specialises in using soft pastels and has a particular focus on British wildlife. She appreciates the versatility that pastel provides and takes pleasure in exploring various methods and concepts to depict texture, motion, and illumination.
