From treasured childhood paint boxes to inspiring encounters with artists such as Howard Hodgkin, Cézanne and Picasso, Sue’s creative journey is one of curiosity, experimentation and lifelong learning.

Step into a hidden world of creativity with Lythop’s Cupboard Studio, a captivating new miniature installation by local artist and LSA member Alice Goode. Opening at Jephson Garden Galleries and Studios on Wednesday 10th June 2026.
From schoolday sketches to expressive watercolour landscapes, Nina French’s creative journey has been shaped by a lifelong love of painting, dramatic scenery and the unpredictable beauty of watercolour. Inspired by rolling hills, turquoise seas and atmospheric skies, her work captures mood, memory and a deep connection to place.
Lorna Ashworth’s artistic journey offers a deeper understanding of her work. Rooted in giving overlooked materials new life, she draws inspiration from recycled tins—their colours, patterns, and hidden histories. Trained in jewellery at the Kent Institute of Art and Design, she shapes these humble containers into organic forms, transforming the ordinary into intimate, wearable art.

In this artist spotlight, she shares how plein-air painting, sketchbooks, and a strong local creative community shape her thoughtful and joyful approach to art.
The Kitchen Table Art Club brings a vibrant burst of creativity to Jephson Gardens Gallery, showcasing imaginative work by young artists from across Warwickshire. Featuring students from Lynne Gougeon’s Kitchen Table Art Club and ARISE Education, the exhibition spans playful, bold and thought-provoking pieces — with actor David Bradley also exhibiting for the first time. Running until March 8, it’s a cheerful antidote to winter.
Known for his highly detailed pencil and ink drawings, Chapman creates “stories without words” that blend technical precision with fantasy, humour, and layers of hidden narrative. Every piece invites you to pause, look closer, and discover something new — from tiny visual clues to subtle references shaped by his lifelong love of literature and imagination.
Working with reclaimed wood and metal, Warwickshire-based artist John Simpson transforms discarded materials into bold, functional artworks. Blending sculpture, design, and sustainability, his practice is led by aesthetics, shaped by function, and rooted in a belief that beauty and value can emerge from what we too easily throw away.
The Leamington Studio Artists marked the successful conclusion of its 2025 Bursary Exhibition with a month-long showcase at The Art Room.
