Gallery 2 - Nicole Revy

Did you know we have a hidden second gallery upstairs?

Head up and turn left to discover a cosy space featuring the playful printmaking of Nicole Revy, on display Wednesday to Saturday, from August 6th to September 13th.

Nicole, a Dorset-based illustrator and relief printmaker working under Prints by the Bay, creates charming lino and woodcut prints inspired by storytelling, folklore, and the female experience. Her work blends whimsical imagery with thoughtful themes, often exploring the connection between women and the natural world.

This year also sees the launch of her first illustrated children’s book. 

Don’t miss this delightful, tucked-away corner of the gallery.

Corded Lives

12th September - 1st November

Opening this September at Green Hill Arts: Corded Lives, a group exhibition exploring the fragile threads of early family life. Curated by artist Carol Harvey, the show brings together 14 contemporary artists whose work delves into the emotional complexity of our earliest relationships.

At the heart of the exhibition is Harvey’s own practice, including the haunting photograph Expectations, featuring a stark hospital cot and bed. “My practice examines what’s left behind - the traces and spaces that hold our experiences,” she explains. For Corded Lives, Harvey has gathered artists whose work resonates with themes of fragility, presence, and the passage of time.

Spanning photography, sculpture, painting, mixed media, and film, the exhibition offers personal reflections on loss, separation, joy, expectation, and memory. Though each artist brings a unique voice and medium, the works are united by their emotional depth and strength of narrative.

The title Corded Lives refers to the enduring, often unseen connections that shape us from our earliest moments. The “cord” may be nurturing or strained, intact or broken - but always present. Whether through longing, estrangement, love, or resilience, these ties inform our sense of self and belonging.

As Harvey puts it: “There is so much of our lives that can’t be said with words. Through art, we create a hidden community - a shared history - even if no one speaks it aloud.”

Full list of participating artists is as follows: Ann M Buckland, Anne-Marie Moss, Anthony Weaver, Carol Harvey, Harriette Brittaine, Ione Rucquoi, Janis Ridley, Joanna Jowett, Juliette Mills, Mellony Taper, Rachel Cornish, Sarah-May Rogers, Sharon James, Sian Davey.

Entry is free. Green Hill Arts Gallery is open 10.00am - 4.00pm daily, from Wednesday to Saturday. The Gallery is situated at the top of Fore Street, Moretonhampstead, close to the Parish Church. Parking is in the Court Street and Station Road car parks.
