We are thrilled to introduce our opening show of the year at Morgans. Hannah Eavis returns to Morgans with a collection of expansive landscape paintings, capturing soft spring like days with gestural marks and hints of warmer hues, alongside Maria Floyd's series of rich landscape works capturing the raw elemental changes between the seasons. Martha Holmes introduces a series of still life paintings with nods towards the interior space of her studio, as well as a delicate body of works illustrating spring days from the beach hut in St Ives. New to Morgans is Newlyn based painter Iona Sanders whose vibrant still life paintings fill the gallery with colour, alongside Eleanor Dorrien-Smith's soft landscapes on linen, which reference days spent on the Isles of Scilly. Paired with the paintings sits a new ‘Arvor' range of scorched furniture pieces by Will Nock and a new collection of tableware by Wendy Wilbraham.

AboutCarla Jennings approaches art with a sense of play & free expression. She uses a mix of media to create unplanned marks & a limited palette of fresh, delicate colours to form a soothing harmony that reflects the natural world. She is particularly inspired by the tiny details within the ever-changing foliage & fauna among the Cornish hedgerows. Many pieces include hand printed collage papers using fresh foliage from my beautiful garden.
