'Summer in Winter' is a collection of works on paper about exploring new places and rediscovering familliar ones. Drawings in oil and pastel are made on location and from observation, using mark-marking to map out the experience of being in a particular place.   Vibrant monotypes depicting abstracted imagined landscapes embrace uncertainty and happy accidents that occur during the print making process. with this exhibition, Jolene and Spring up Gallery hope to bring a splash of colour to the street during the winter months.
