As you navigate the exhibition, you’ll encounter works that capture the essence of finding peace and strength amidst chaos, embracing imperfections, and discovering the inner fortitude to rise above challenges. Each piece tells a story of transformation, courage, hope and resilience.

It serves as a beacon of inspiration, showcasing a diverse array of artworks that embody the themes of perseverance, courage, and the enduring belief in a brighter future.

Showcasing the work of Wendy Ackrell, Lorraine Bonner, Ellen Brook, Marie Cameron, Kim Cardoso, Bushra Gill, Rinat Goren, Audrey Kral, Karen Mason and Sawyer Rose, Mending Together features a curated selection of contemporary artworks, including paintings, sculpture, installation and mixed media art. Each artist offers a unique perspective, highlighting their individual, lived experiences—emphasizing diversity in artistic expression, with a rich tapestry of voices and styles.

As a curator, I believe in the healing power of art. Mending Together is not just an art exhibition; it is a celebration of the human spirit in challenging times. Through the power of art, we aim to uplift, inspire, and remind audiences of the beauty and strength that reside within each of us. We invite you to join us on this journey of hope and resilience, and to experience the transformative power of art.
