Ladies take Centre Stage at Gallery North West
An exciting programme of exhibitions lies in store for all that visit Gallery North West this year!
Following on from Carl and Paul Fitton’s superb display of intricate and thought-provoking artwork, next up are local artists Annie Stride and Sarah Reid, who will be exhibiting at the beginning of March for the next few months.
As always, everyone is invited to come along to GNW, and Team GNW would love to see you there at some point.
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” – Picasso
ANNIE STRIDE: Home and Away
Annie, a local artist in Brampton, has worked in pastels, watercolours, and acrylics for over 30 years. A regular exhibitor at Gallery Northwest, Annie is also a vital member of the GNW management team.
She draws much inspiration from time spent with her family and dog Dexter in the countryside surrounding her home near Brampton, but also from the many trips throughout the UK and far away from home.
‘Home and Away’ is inspired by revisiting photos, sketches, and memories of these special trips.
Annie said, “The challenges have come from trying to capture the different lights and moods, using different approaches on occasion. The experience of creating artwork from my own life experiences has been motivating and filled with fun.
SARAH REID: Shorelines
From her Penrith base, Sarah explores the Lakes, Cumbrian coastline, and the Eden Valley, which inspires her work. Sarah is fascinated by the ever-changing light on the landscape and our place within it.
Working primarily in pastel, her work captures an emotional response to the scenery and invites the viewer to explore the scene, drawn in by unexpected hints of light and colour to provoke a real sense of being. Drawing on experience and memories to create timeless yet contemporary expressions of our landscape.
Shorelines is an exhibition to both excite and soothe, with gritty realism combined with tranquil musings, celebrating our unique Cumbrian landscape and its ever-changing moods.
