Jacqueline Ford
Made of Place: Atmospheric Textures with Guest Artist Jacqueline Ford
While our Artists in Residence are deeply anchoring this year's creative program, we are absolutely thrilled to welcome the wonderfully talented Jacqueline Ford as our special Guest Artist for the Made of Place exhibition.
Working from her studio in nearby Marlow, Jacqueline has spent over twenty years refining a practice that captures the true essence of the British landscape. For this exhibition, she brings us a collection of spectacular, highly tactile paintings that highlight her masterery of a fascinating painting process.
Josie Clouting
Made of Place: Into the Wild Landscapes with Painter Josie Clouting
For painter Josie Clouting—one of our brilliant 2026 Artists in Residence—the creative process begins far beyond the walls of a traditional studio. It begins outside in the elements, responding intuitively to the vastness, light, and atmosphere of wild and ancient places.
Ali Mackie
Made of Place: Finding the ‘Everyday Magic’ with Ali Mackie.
Ali is a contemporary abstract and mixed-media artist who specializes in capturing what she beautifully terms "everyday magic." Her practice takes botanicals - familiar, and ordinary objects and transforms them into curiously abstracted, deeply textured compositions. Through her playful use of acrylics and mixed media, she injects an uplifting energy into the spaces her art inhabits.
Catherine Hammerton
Made of Place: In the Studio with Paper Sculptor Catherine Hammerton.
There is a quiet, powerful word in Welsh that doesn’t quite have a direct English translation: Hiraeth. It describes a deep longing for home, a connection to the landscape, and a collective sense of belonging. For our 2026 Artist in Residence, Catherine Hammerton, this feeling sits right at the heart of her breathtaking paper artistry.
