TWO Isle of Wight artists have come together to share their work inspired by the Island's environment and beyond in their ‘Colours of Nature’ exhibition at Quarr Abbey.
Although inspired by similar subject matter, artists Hollie Jackson and Gemma Mallinson’s interpretation and response to our world has taken them each on different artistic journeys.
From Gemma’s intricate studies of pebbles and seaweed, local landscapes and seascapes, to Hollie’s aerial interpretations of the Earth’s natural wonders, visitors can immerse themselves in their artwork and travel from the Island’s beaches to the stars above!
Hollie has a passion for travel and our natural universe, stemming from her childhood, spent travelling Europe and living in Gibraltar. This is reflected in her work, which utilises colours inspired by the natural beauty of our planet and beyond.
Gemma is a mixed-media artist inspired by the natural textures and patterns that can be found around us. She is currently working on a Developing Your Creative Practice project funded by Arts Council England and has previously had a successful solo exhibition at Monkton Arts in Ryde.
The exhibition starts today (April 13) and runs until Tuesday (April 18) at Quarr Abbey Gallery.
