Upcoming Events

Earth, Water And Wing Exhibition 

5th to 26th June 2025

In “Earth, Water, Wing,” Sally Pennycate, Melissa McDonald and Marika du Plessis come together to celebrate the beauty and diversity of the natural world. Through their distinct yet complementary works, they explore the intricate relationships between land, sea, and sky. Sally’s abstracted landscapes evoke hidden pockets and reflections of nature in a layered, textural style. Meanwhile, Melissa’s expressive seascapes capture the drama of the coastline in an abstracted, emotive way while Marika’s characterful, quirky ceramic birds celebrate the joy and abundance of life! Together, their art invites viewers to contemplate the harmony and wonder of the natural world.
