SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE WATER- Claire Howlett and Jude Mckenna

SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE WATER
An exhibition of art by Claire Howlett & Jude McKenna

Two artists, bound by a shared connection to the landscape, present their first London exhibition together. A collection of original works that explore the memory and emotion of wild places, Somewhere Across the Water brings together two distinct yet harmonious visions of how land, sea, sky and light imprint themselves upon us.

Claire Howlett Howlett’s practice is anchored in the visceral translation of terrain and emotion—drawn most deeply to the sea, yet also informed by rivers, moonlight, woodland, and always the play of light within them. Working in a non-representational language, she seeks not to depict place but to distil it: merging the contours of human emotion with the presence and ever-changing energy of the natural world.

Jude McKenna McKenna’s paintings draw from imagined and abstracted landscapes, inviting the viewer into meditative spaces shaped by weather, water, atmosphere, and luminous light. Her work evokes the sensation of standing within a place—its quiet rhythms, its drifting mists—offering room to pause, breathe, and dream. Together, their works form a dialogue across water and distance: a shared reverence for our landscape, and for the light that transforms it.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS EVENT AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN US THERE. THE PRIVATE VIEW WILL BE ON THURSDAY 5TH MARCH 2026. ALL WELCOME. PLEASE DO DROP ME A LINE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND.
