Suffolk hedgerow ruth simpson

Ruth Simpson, a Suffolk based Contemporary Artist lives near Ixworth. From here she explores enchanting rolling farmland, ancient woodlands and hedgerows, the captivating heaths, flower rich meadows and wonderful wetlands. Ruth draws inspiration from natures changing moods and seasons and her work, in acrylic and inks, often depicts wildflowers and grasses in exquisite detail.

“A simple grass stem or woodland copse can capture the imagination and help us to see the beauty all around us, so often taken for granted or overlooked.”

Lucy Perry’s work seeks to record fleeting moments of light, pattern and colour in the natural world through painting and printmaking.  Her approach to drawing and painting is instinctively bold and expressive, sometimes using mixed media and printmaking techniques within paintings. Lucy’s love of colour is key in her vibrant and celebratory artworks which lift any interior space with feelings of joy.

Lucy also produces cyanotypes, capturing the power of the sun to record nature directly.

"My hope is that when you hang my work in your home it will bring you moments of joyful distraction in our frantic modern world - the impetus to pause, to escape, to relax and to restore your mind.”
