Jennifer Morgan transforms soft materials into strikingly lifelike portraits, using wool, beads, and hand-blended fibers to build depth and emotion without paint. Her process is slow and intentional, allowing texture to carry the story through layered surfaces that feel both delicate and powerful. Each piece captures subtle expressions and quiet emotional weight, inviting viewers to look closer and connect more deeply. By blurring the line between textile and fine art, her work challenges how portraiture is traditionally understood, proving that even the softest mediums can hold presence, intensity, and lasting impact.

Selected for our Faces exhibition, Lisa Matway creates bold abstract faces layered in vivid pinks, purples, and oranges that pulse with emotion. Her work is deeply rooted in her husband Jerry’s journey with Parkinson’s, exploring the gap between a face that appears still and the life that continues beneath it. Through exaggerated features, layered textures, and unapologetic color, she restores expression where the condition tries to take it away. Each piece begins with shared conversations, translating lived experience into visual form. What started as a personal outlet has grown into modart4pd,…

Some paintings ask you to admire them. Sally Edmonds’ work asks you to look back. By removing every distraction, she brings you face to face with a bird as an individual present, aware, impossible to ignore.

Michele Leung bridges the structured worlds of engineering and finance with the expressive depth of oil painting, transforming discipline into creativity. Her work balances precision and emotion, building compositions with patience, intentionality, and layered brushwork that captures the quiet strength of her subjects. Pieces like The Unyielding Gaze reveal resilience that is internal and reflective, not performative. In her Hong Kong studio, classical music guides her process, helping her surrender to the rhythm of creation and focus deeply on each layer. Michele’s practice has taught her that meaning unfolds slowly, that…

We are thrilled to announce that The Places We Call Home is now live on the Women in Arts Network! This international virtual exhibition brings together women-identifying and non-binary artists from around the world to explore the many meanings of home.

If you’ve ever walked into a room and felt like the walls themselves were alive, you’ve experienced a little bit of what Rothko aimed for. Born in 1903 in Dvinsk (now Daugavpils, Latvia), Rothko emigrated to the United States as a child and later became one of the seminal figures of the Abstract Expressionist movement. What made his work stand out was his belief that colour alone, large fields of it, softly edged and hovering on the canvas, could evoke deep human emotion: tragedy, ecstasy, even the sense of the sublime.Rather…
