Gael Sellwood’s work details found natural objects, affected, renounced and used by nature. Usually working in watercolour on paper or vellum, her paintings take the viewer to the hedgerow, wayside or garden, recreating a season, a feeling, a scent or an experience for posterity. Her favourite subjects are often dried, curled and care worn, rather than pristine and perfect. She focuses on creating texture and flowing forms in her work. @gaelsellwood paintings are on display until 28th October. #cambridge #painting #botanicalillustration ##independentartgallery

@tiffanyscullceramics in her own words about the source of her inspiration: ‘Art Nouveau, The Arts and Crafts movement and the natural world inspire me, finding connections with the use of both nature and pattern. Gustav Kilmt, Maurice Sendak, Elizabeth Fritsch and Mary Wondrausch are among some of my other influences.’ Find out more about the artist on our website! Tiffany’s pieces are on display until 28th October. #cambridge #ceramics #sgraffito #sgraffitopottery #independentartgallery #shopindependent

@margaretgardinerceramics loves textures: lace, peacock feathers, shells and shiny things and the process of evolving these into her ceramics. She recognizes that she has 3 main influences: Victorian architecture, Greek pots and the sea. She particularly wants to emulate the joy she feels when snorkelling: she delights in the colours and patterns of coral and sea creatures. Margaret notices patterns wherever she goes and she travels whenever possible. On display until 28th October. #cambridge #ceramics #vapourglazefiring

We’ve had a pleasure to choose ‘Best Print in Show’ at the @cambsorigprint last week. There were so many beautiful prints that we couldn’t decide on one! We can’t wait to show you the chosen prints by Terry Bryan and Conni Johnson. #cambridge #printmaking #independentartgallery photos @zuza_g
