Connecting Through Art 2026

Alicia Stewart:

My work celebrates the magic of the British countryside and wildlife by exploring themes of light and bright, vibrant colours in my oil landscape and animal paintings. I use metallic accents to bring a touch of sparkle to my expressive skies and sunsets.

Helen Zalewski:

I am a Lincolnshire based textile artist, creating pieces from new and reclaimed textiles, metal and yarns. My work is inspired by nature’s quiet beauty, my imagination and a hope that it makes you remember a pause in the wildflowers, a running hare or moment you keep close to your heart.
