Safari Art
Neil Sloan
Safari Art captures the artistic responses of visual artist Neil Sloan, during travels throughout East Africa. From connecting with local communities, diverse landscape and wildlife, Neil has created expressive works on paper layered with meaning, energy, and a sense of place. Working on-site, his experiences are translated through printmaking, collage, drawing and journaled musings. Safari Art serves as a vivid snapshot and a reflection of the region’s richness, as well as Neil’s personal engagement to the journey.

Resilience, Reflection, and Renewal
Sarah Richards
Inspired by the cycles of life and the wisdom they reveal, this collection of paintings explores the journey of resilience, reflection and renewal. Each piece captures the movement of time—sometimes vast and open, other times deep and uncertain. Through shifting colours, layered textures, and symbolic pathways, these works speak to the balance of holding on, letting go, and stepping forward with courage. Every mark, every step, and every transition tell a story, honouring both where we’ve been and what lies ahead.

A Shifting Perspective
Lesley Sykes
In A Shifting Perspective, artist Lesley Sykes draws inspiration from a beautiful, light-filled studio at their home in Mongarlowe. Cluttered with collected objects and opening out to an overgrown garden and back creek, this environment provides the subject matter for Sykes’s paintings - interiors, still-life and the wild garden spaces. The works showcase a sgraffito technique - scratching into, rather than drawing on, the surface. Colour is applied and then rubbed back to become almost translucent. Rather than presenting a photographic representation, the paintings evoke the idea of spaces and objects. Forms are distorted and planes tilted, objects intersect and overlap - shifting perspective.
