The house of Stickyness

What you up to this weekend? Pop and see my exhibition with Sheree Bell ...

We are thrilled to invite you to the "Under Water Love" joint art exhibition, showcasing the captivating works of Vanessa Clark and Sheree Bell. This unique exhibition promises to transport you into an underwater realm where movement, texture, and emotion merge to create a truly mesmerizing experience.

Vanessa Clark’s paintings are a masterful interplay of motion and texture, each piece imbued with the dynamic energy of the sea. Her work captures the essence of being immersed in the ocean, evoking the fluidity and rhythm of water in every brushstroke.

Sheree Bell’s artworks introduce you to a world of beautiful mermaids who embrace body positivity and celebrate love with other sea creatures. Her paintings are vibrant and full of life, reflecting the joy and freedom found beneath the waves. Each mermaid radiates confidence and charm, inviting you to explore a narrative of acceptance and love.

Together, our collections create an enchanting underwater odyssey, filled with the spirit and vitality of the ocean.

We look forward to sharing this journey with you:

Date: 22nd June - 30th June 2024
Time: Daily 11:00 - 16:00 closed Mondays and Tuesdays
Venue: The Stables Gallery, 35 - 37 Tontine St,
Folkestone, CT20 1JT

Vanessa Clark & Sheree Bell
