ENCOUNTERS
18 - 23 NOVEMBER
Lou Dunipace is a British artist known for her expressive landscapes and nuanced use of colour, capturing fleeting moments of atmosphere and light. Preferring to work, in oil, en plein air, Dunipace thrives on the unpredictability of nature, finding inspiration in the changing elements. “My initial starting point is rooted in observation, responding directly in colour”, she says, explaining how her work then transforms from direct observation to something more abstract and evocative back in the studio. Whether painting in the dramatic highlands, the coastal paths of Cornwall or the bustling energy of Marrakesh, she allows her compositions to evolve organically, distilling the landscape into dynamic shapes and bold colour patterns.

CURIOS
CURIOS
18-30 NOVEMBER 2024
The artists exhibiting are all inspired by the weird and the wonderful throughout history. From classical mythology to eastern European folk, from medieval marginalia to global symbolism, their work draws on diverse historical sources to bring an intriguing, eclectic and utterly charming group show to Green & Stone. The work on display will be a cabinet of curiosities – a delightful mix of satirical ceramics, whimsical collages, large-scale mythological paintings and miniature medieval paintings.
SARAH HOWARD
SARAH HOWARD
11 - 16 NOVEMBER
It is with great pleasure and admiration that I introduce the exhibition of Sarah Howard, an artist whose journey through portraiture, landscapes, and still life has culminated in a collection that is as much a testament to her skill as it is to her connection with her subjects. Sarah's work embodies the delicate balance between observation and imagination, resulting in both familiar and refreshing artworks.

MAX BACCANELLO
SYMPHONY OF WINGS
14 - 26 OCTOBER
'My passion lies in painting from life, where I am captivated by the organic process of translating my immediate reality onto canvas. This enthusiasm is complemented by a profound curiosity about texture, layers, and edges. I am constantly exploring innovative methods to convey the tactile and characterful aspects of what I see through the medium of paint in both my still life’s and figurative pieces.'

BEYOND THE GARDEN GATE
30-5 SEPTEMBER 2024
Everything is fresh about blossom, winter is over, all the plants are coming up, there’s a moment when I’ve said nature has an erection!" – David Hockney.
The explosive excitement of the natural world is available to all of us. This exhibition is a visual journey through a garden’s seasons as seen and sensed by the viewer. The lens is focused from beyond the confines of the garden gate to reflect a fertile hotbed of magical sights and feelings through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Amanda, a visionary artist known for her captivating exploration of nature’s mysteries, presents ‘Beyond the Garden Gate’.
From ancient civilisation to the present day, gardens have promoted paradise. In her wonderful book, The Well Gardened Mind, Sue Stuart-Smith substantiates the remarkable effects of nature on our health and well-being. She explores how the garden can be vital to cultivating the mind, restoring energy, or letting go of negativity. She also explores how a garden is a place of reality as well as fantasy.
And so, through a fusion of vibrant colours and flowing brushstrokes, Amanda guides you on a whimsical tour into the garden of imagination, where the ordinary dissolves into the extraordinary. It explores a verdant world so lush and rich in boundless sensory pleasures, you can almost smell it!
"My childhood garden was where I first learned to explore independence, fumble with the wonders of a daisy chain, taste the sweetness of a stolen raspberry, sow seeds to cultivate flowers and vegetables, snip rose petals to make heady scent, find bugs and brush mud from my grazed knees. It was where my brothers and I created magical worlds of make-believe in dens and treehouses. It was Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, and Roald Dahl fantastical. And then we grew up.
As years are harvested and the playgrounds of my adulthood pass through the seasons, I paint pictures with emotion, memories, and feelings of my favourite scenes in parks and gardens. I see ‘Enchanted Land, Garden Treasures, Sense of Wonder, Wildly Exciting, Fruits of Spring, Dreams of Green, Find Your Heart in the Garden and Tomorrow is a Vision of Hope. I feel the joy in the garden and paint the magic as I see it from ‘beyond the garden gate’.’’

I’ve never really considered myself a photographer—more of an enthusiast with an obsession for expensive camera gear. My photos have rarely ventured beyond the walls of my study. But after years of gentle (and, at times, not-so-gentle) nudging from my friends and family, I’m finally sharing a selection.
These images don’t follow a specific narrative or hold any particular meaning; they are simply moments that caught my eye during the years I’ve been fortunate enough to live in or visit various places. But that’s beside the point. The pictures are just a hook.
Two years ago, my brother-in-law, Chris Middleton, passed away from Frontotemporal Dementia, a devastating illness that, as his daughter Julia so poignantly described, causes the patient to die not once but again and again. The family endures this agony for years
Chris was extraordinarily gifted and an exceptional journalist. He had a unique ability to observe the world through brilliant snapshots of writing, always resisting the pull of clickbait journalism. He was also, above all, the kindest of men.
These pictures are not for sale, but if anyone would like one, I’ll be happy to send it over after the exhibition, with the hope and understanding that a donation will be made to The National Brain Appeal. The charity aims to transform the lives of millions of people living with neurological and neuromuscular conditions. They drive advancement by funding pioneering research, innovative treatments and world-class facilities – over and above what the NHS can provide.
This exhibition is a small gesture of thanks to those who helped during Chris’ illness and to Chris himself—a way to honour Chris.
AMICUS BOTANICUS
FLORAL FIREWORKS AT WOBURN ABBEY
16-21 SEPTEMBER 2024
Taking place this September a total of 23 botanical artists will be exhibiting in excess of 50 contemporary botanical-themed paintings to celebrate the Humphry Repton-inspired gardens at Woburn Abbey.
Working closely with Woburn Abbey’s Estate Garden Manager, Martin Towsey, this talented group of artists has taken inspiration from the colourful plants displayed in the height of summer within the living collection at Woburn Abbey’s splendid historical gardens in Bedfordshire.
A percentage of the artists’ sales will be donated to the Duchess of Bedford’s chosen local charity, MKSNAP: Special Needs Advancement Placement (Milton Keynes). MKSNAP provides a leading programme of education, life skills, work preparation and opportunities for work to adults aged 18-plus with learning disabilities, giving them the skills to realise their potential.
The theme, Floral Fireworks, was chosen by Woburn Abbey to highlight the colourful spectacle of a garden in its full summer splendour and to celebrate the pleasure we all derive from flowers and nature in full bloom.
The exhibition will feature full-size works in watercolour by Amicus Botanicus alongside a collection of ‘affordable art’ miniature paintings.

KATE PRESTON ART
TOWN & COUNTRY
3–8 JUNE 2024
Kate’s passion for art is rooted in aesthetics and its ability to uplift spirits and bring character and joy into a home. Setting up Kate Preston Art in 2019 from her home in North Yorkshire was the realisation of a long-held desire to begin selling art and, at the same time, support up-and-coming artists. ‘I am a lifelong art lover and get such pleasure from buying a piece of art to go on our initially empty and today, increasingly eclectic and full walls at home in Yorkshire. But I don’t have a big budget, and looking for new, affordable artists is time-consuming and often too expensive, not to mention intimidating at certain galleries or auction houses.’ she says.
Her aim at Kate Preston Art is to be able to do some of the leg work for people and make the art-buying experience less daunting and more approachable. By showcasing the work of a small number of lovely, talented artists, anyone interested in buying a piece of art can discover gorgeous work that is affordable. Now in 2024, Kate is opening a new chapter with a week-long exhibition called ’Town & Country’ at The Gallery at Green & Stone on London’s Fulham Road.
With ’Town & Country’, Kate brings a slice of the countryside to London, showcasing the work of ten talented emerging artists and over 50 new paintings and artworks. The work includes beautiful still lifes in oil and watercolour, contemporary and abstract landscapes, big and playful limited edition prints and several gorgeous ceramics. As Kate says, ’Whether you’re looking for a special anniversary or wedding present, or doing a refurbishment at home and need to refresh your walls .. this exhibition is the perfect starting point. There’s something for everyone!’.

MAX WHITE
A CELEBRATION OF LANDSCAPES
6–11 MAY 2024
I want this show to feel like a celebration of landscapes. I've been painting memories of places I hold close captured in my chosen medium of oils. The work spans from the Cornish coast, to the Surrey Hills. Combining techniques in a mix of plein air and studio based painting, the show will explore the relationship between the three pillars I consider to be most important in painting. The subject, the abstract quality of paint on a surface, and my emotional influence on both.
