Maria Harryman

Life is not Still - A florilegium of the Kennet and Avon Canal

Maria Harryman is a Wiltshire based artist whose current work finds inspiration in florilegium, books dating back to medieval times which recorded the plants of a particular place or garden. In this exhibition her specific place of interest is the Kennet & Avon Canal.

Starting in March as older nature-based calendars did, the work walks us through the months and seasons, depicting the wild plants growing in the reedbeds and hedgerows against a backdrop of bridges and wider towpath life. All artworks are for sale and an illustrated booklet of 12 pen portraits to accompany the exhibition will be available.

Maria will be in the gallery on Saturday 16th November to discuss her work and show her sketchbooks providing insight into her working practise.
