Public Art Georges House Gallery Celebratory Arts Training & Education The Giants Project
Harriet Gifford and Tina Atchinson-Thomas to exhibit at Geroges House 

We are delighted to announce that contemporary painters Tina Atchison-Thomas and Harriet Gifford are exhibiting for the first time at Georges House Gallery.

Harriet Gifford’s work inhabits the territory between abstraction and figuration and is inspired by dark skies and fading light.

Tina Atchison-Thomas describes her work as “a response to the landscape, concerned with the language of colour and light.”

The commonalities and contrasts of light, darkness, colour and texture in their work makes for a visually exciting exhibition.

Memories of Summer
