Jemma Churchill
The feeling that can be found within a landscape is an intrinsic part of Jemma’s practice. She spends a lot of time sketching outdoors, always looking for the beauty, pattern, and colour within a scene and then uses these sketches to create exaggerated gestures within her art.
This exhibit showcases two separate explorations of nature in her work. Oil painted landscapes, with abstracted perspectives and intricacies of pattern, as well as vibrant ink studies of cells undergoing division. By looking through the microscope and depicting the growth, renewal, and change, her work explores the larger cycle of life and the sublime power of nature.
“This life is fragile and fleeting, so we must try to notice a bit of it’s beauty before we’re gone.”

Tilly Baily
Tilly is an artist and illustrator from Suffolk. Her work is often very bright, playful, and graphic. She takes inspiration from many sources, but mainly from her day-to-day life, whether that’s a vase of flowers, something she’s eaten or drunk, or even from her never-ending wish-list of lovely and expensive objects and clothes (that she neither needs nor can afford), as a way to stop her materialist urges.
In this exhibit her work depicts how nature, in its many forms, will often find its way into our everyday lives.

Harriet Memory
Harriet's creative process starts with her fascination with narratives that are taking place in nature all across the world. Her imagination and connection to nature give her the inspiration that drives her art, creating paintings based on feeling, movement and storytelling. She is influenced by the beauty found in marine plants and the intricate relationships between animals, their food and their habitats, creating watercolour paintings that are full of colour and wonder. Harriet hopes that her paintings will serve as a portal to understanding the delicate balance of nature, inspiring people to appreciate and protect it.
