Gabrielle Teaney .teaney at Higher Spargo School of Art

We are pleased to share that Gabrielle Teaney, Krowji tenant, is hosting a series of five evening classes 'Double Vision: Painting with Super Imposed Images' at Higher Spargo Art School of Art , Rose Vly, Penryn TR10 9JQ between 23rd September and 21st October 2026.

Discover an inventive approach to acrylic painting that transforms familiar images into bold, colourful abstractions.

Drawing on Gabrielle Teaney's own artistic practice, this course explores how photography, projection and painting can be combined to create dynamic contemporary artworks. Working from two projected images layered onto a single surface, you'll learn how shape, colour and composition can be used to reveal and conceal different visual stories within the same painting.

Public Opening Event: Friday 18th September 2026, 5pm–9pm
Public Exhibition: 19th to 20th September 2026, 10am–4pm

“Upon” showcases a diverse collection of contemporary landscape artworks developed over the course of an intensive twelve-month programme. Throughout the year, artists have travelled from across the country to Cornwall every two months, working together under the guidance of leading tutors while developing their individual artistic practices.

The title “Upon” reflects the artists’ varied responses to landscape - the moments, memories and encounters that emerge through a sustained engagement with place. The exhibition explores the relationship between artist and environment, revealing personal interpretations of the landscapes that surround and inspire us. From dramatic coastlines and rural landscapes to intimate and deeply personal responses to place, the work demonstrates the breadth, energy and vitality of contemporary landscape artists today."

Exhibiting Artists
Martin Baister, Maggie Cochran, Abigail Elverd, Nick George, Lucy Gow, Helen Hamlin, Sue Helm, Roger Kerr, Ena Lavelle, Frances Mason, Lou Stickland, Zoe Partington, Kay Pearson, Viv Spencer, Jo Summerfield, Ian Watkin and Anne Marie Whitton.

Kirsty Banks – Around, project with Marieke ten Berge

As well as producing a beautiful book, they also have a birthday calendar.

‘Around’ is an ongoing collaborative project developed after meeting on the Meander during her circumnavigation of Svalbard, between Kirsty Banks and illustrator Marieke ten Berge.

Working across drawing, field observation, and exchange, the project explores shared ways of seeing and responding to Arctic environments. It is rooted in a shared love of the Arctic and a deep connection to the environment. It has grown through a series of connected outcomes, including a collaborative book and related works made through and after the voyage. We have also exhibited together on two occasions, presenting our individual work alongside the shared project context.

The work continues to develop through ongoing reflection on place, movement, and shared making.
