  • Sally Gatie

    May 2026

    Our May exhibitor is North Yorkshire–based artist Sally Gatie, whose work explores the human figure through rich colour, texture, and pattern. This compelling body of work brings together intimate, quietly powerful paintings that reflect themes of motherhood, stillness, and the complexity of lived experience.
