Borley Church: Between Hedgerow and Sky: Studies in Light and Stillness. An exhibition of watercolours by Suffolk artist Eleanor Mann

Enjoy an exhibition of watercolours by Suffolk artist Eleanor Mann.

Artist' Statement:
“I have lived in Suffolk nearly all my life.

My paintings reflect my love of architecture, the local countryside and wildlife. I see beauty in ordinary things, preferring the wild flowers that grow along verges or in hedgerows to the more cultivated varieties.

Watercolour is a very versatile medium; it can be soft and gentle or bold and dramatic. I find capturing atmosphere through the depiction of light makes the most ordinary everyday subjects look extraordinary in paint.

It’s been a decade since my last solo exhibition and this body of work marks a return not only to painting, but to ways of seeing: attentive, patient, and rooted in a deep affection for the countryside. In these paintings, the landscape is not dramatic, but enduring—offering space to pause, to look again, and to find stillness in the everyday.”
