Unfurled - Art Exhibition by Fee Bissett and Marianne Wilson
Unfurled is a joyful celebration of the botanical world and an invitation to slow down, notice and reconnect with the beauty in the everyday. Through vibrant colour, expressive form and a shared love of nature, Fee Bissett and Marianne Wilson explore the quiet relationship between plants, memory, family, home and the places that shape who we are.Like leaves opening to the light, the works in Unfurled speak of growth, belonging and the gentle unfolding of life's experiences. Each artwork reflects moments of presence those small, often overlooked encounters with gardens, landscapes and familiar spaces that ground viewers and encourage pause.Rooted in a deep appreciation for the natural world, this exhibition celebrates the comfort of home, the stories carried through generations and the enduring connection between people and place.Together, Fee and Marianne invite viewers to immerse themselves in a colourful collection that encourages curiosity, reflection and the simple joy of being present. Unfurled offers the opportunity to explore closely and rediscover the extraordinary beauty found in the everyday.
Seems like you've caught us on an R&R day!
