Valerie Armstrong: The Mind’s Eye exhibition at Artspace Woodbridge

Artworks member Valerie Armstrong joins two former exhibitors with Artworks, ceramicist Ann Lee and painter Colin Slee, for their third year of ‘The Mind’s Eye’ at Artspace Woodbridge. The exhibition is open daily 10am-5pm from Friday 19th July to Wednesday 24th July 2024.

Valerie creates her paintings intuitively, building up layers of information in paint, collage, glaze, and mixed media, strongly informed by a past career as an art therapist as she explores the stories within dreams and memories:

“My paintings begin with spontaneous play or experimentation, using collage, mark making and textures; as the painting begins to reveal itself, the layering process becomes like a dance. Gradually the history below is revealed as a mysterious suggestion of what might be and what might have been. Finally, as the process nears completion, the pace slows, colours become more refined and the marks, more thoughtful. With music as my muse, I allow the subconscious to direct, and visual stories to emerge; sometimes surprisingly, always truthfully.”

Julia Groves: The Art Of Trees at Lynford Arboretum 2024

A series of cone drawings by Artworks member Julia Groves have recently been installed in ‘The Art of Trees’ outdoor art exhibition at Lynford Arboretum in Thetford Forest.

‘The Art of Trees’ celebrates the work of the National Pinetum, showcasing the beauty and diversity of its trees, featuring artworks by the Bedgebury Pinetum Florilegium Society. The National Pinetum at Bedgebury is home to a world-leading collection of conifers and contains over 12,000 specimen trees (source: Forestry England).

The Art of Trees outdoor exhibition of artworks is now installed at Lynford Arboretum in Thetford Forest.

An accompanying full-colour guide about the artworks and the participating artists is available at the start of the walking trails.
