Summer Exhibition 2021 : Lindsey Hambleton, Louise Hawkins and Muriel Mallows

Born in Derbyshire, Lindsey works mainly on wood panel, her recent paintings are often large in scale, with compositions inspired by well known places.  Lindsey's landscapes have strong structural elements, often framed by trees, balanced by strong light and open space. Lindsey's paintings are usually inspired by a specific and often familiar view, and sketches worked up in the studio where more abstract elements evolve.  Her colours are inspired by the season and location, and heightened to enhance emotion and structure in the work.

Louise graduated in Design at Goldsmiths College London before studying at the International Glass Centre. She gained much of her understanding of the medium of glass early in her career whilst working alongside some of the British glassmaking industry’s traditional and contemporary artisans. Louise usees a combination of traditional glassblowing techniques and contemporary craft skills to develop her work which is held in both public and private collections worldwide. We're thrilled with this new collection of floral pieces that Louise has created specifically for this exhibiton.

Muriel Mallows works from her home in Oxford, having originally trained at the City & Guilds of London Art School. She has exhibited widely throughout her long career and her work is a mainstay of the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy. She is inspired by life, her family, her friends and the things around her that make up everyday life.
