The Really Wild Show – Trisha Hayman
17 September – 10 November
Local watercolour artist Trisha describes her recent work as “an observation on the fragility of nature within the natural world,” as her still life images focus on nature’s unconsidered, forgotten or expendable specimens. As she puts it, “some are beautiful, some are bland and some are just ignored!”
Her paintings feature sea life—fish, crustaceans and abandoned shells—as well as silk moths in all their glory, seed pods, autumn leaves, age old fossils, animal antlers and horns. “The approach to my work,” she explains, “takes many hours examining my subject matter very closely, so my essential tools are a fine sable paintbrush (as I only work in watercolour), a magnifying glass and plenty of hot-pressed paper.”
The Really Wild Show Art Exhibition will be running in our Rotunda Gallery from 17 September until 10 November. For visiting information please see our Plan your Visit page. This exhibition is FREE with admission.
