Utopia is a joint exhibition by Mandy Emerson and Catherine Roberts
"My works for this Exhibition takes on the symbol of change. The change from night and day as from winter to spring. Midnight indigo sky's in my work radiate from the moonlight reflecting bursting blooms of nature with the hummingbird searching for nectar further a field . There is always beauty in change, we only have to look". - Mandy Emerson
"Escapism...My aim was to create moments of peace, in a Paradise. Creating a quiet serenity, and a moment to catch your breath, and distract you from a loud and busy world. Just as the process of creating this work did for me.Each piece was developed from layers of texture and paint, where a landscape was born, and worked on until it felt (to me), balanced and harmonious in colour, contrast and detail". - Catherine Roberts
