Art of Ages brings together five female artists, who engage with a range of media and styles all linked by one family.
About
Spanning three generations, creativity connects the very different specialisms and approaches to the production of artwork. From mixed media drawing to woven textiles and illustration to conceptual painting, the artists all engage with material expression and hand manipulated media in their practices.
Featuring works by Ellie Foreman-Peck, Anna Garrett, Glynis Lamond, Betty McGimpsey and Stephanie Rolph.
Everyone is welcome to visit the exhibition and meet the artists on Sat 08 July.

Glynis Lamond is currently studying for an MA in Drawing at UAL Wimbledon. She lives and works in the Guildford area. Her work considers the onset of the digital age and how humanity is incessantly bombarded with visual and written information. A direct stream of high-speed events, seen and transformed by the “eye” of the media; to which her recent practice sits in context.
