A welcome bouquet

A Together In Art Pocket Exhibition curated by Tracey Keogh

With the Gallery set to reopen, I've been imagining the moment when we once again invite members and guests through the doors to be greeted by the spectacular floral arrangements in our vestibule or on our front desk. Until then, here is a virtual welcome from artists in our collection who explore the beauty, mystery and symbolism of flowers, from gentle blooms painted by the young Roy de Maistre to Rodney Glick’s lotus-clad lovers.
