Private View: Thursday 23rd April, 6pm - 8pm
Open daily after until Saturday 2nd May
A new exhibition by Elizabeth Lyons brings together painting, photography, and print to explore reflection, impermanence, and human connection.
On the Other Side From You explores the subtle spaces between people. Through layered imagery and a sensitive use of material, Lyons invites viewers into a quiet dialogue with the work, encouraging moments of pause and introspection.
Originally from Manchester, Lyons holds an MA in Fine Art from Manchester School of Art and is now based on the Wirral. Her multidisciplinary practice moves fluidly between mediums, with each piece contributing to a wider conversation around presence and absence.
The public is warmly invited to attend the private view on 23 April and experience the exhibition firsthand. The exhibition will continue until 2 May, with works available to view and purchase throughout.
On the Other Side from You
Kin
Private View: Thursday 14th May, 6pm - 8pm
Open daily after, until Sunday 24th May
Andrea Fagan presents Kin, a solo exhibition exploring themes of community, connection, and belonging.
Through a series of intimate paintings, Fagan reflects on what it means to feel seen, supported, and part of a collective, whether among family, friends, neighbours, or the everyday networks we move within. Kin is both a personal and universal body of work, drawing attention to the quiet significance of shared moments and lived experience.
Originally from Tottenham and now based in Liverpool, Fagan is a self-taught artist whose practice blends impressionistic qualities with moments of realism. Her work is informed by her own life and the people around her, capturing scenes that feel both familiar and deeply human.
Visitors are invited to join the private view on 14 May to celebrate the exhibition's opening and meet the artist. Kin will remain on view until 24 May, with all works available for purchase.
