'Abbot Hall presents Legacy, a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Charmaine Watkiss. Discover a collection of powerful drawings exploring the connection between people, legacy and nature
London-based artist Charmaine Watkiss (examines history and cultural tradition through the unifying language of plants and their properties. Inspired by historical research, Watkiss explores the relationship between ancestry, botany and the cosmos.
Drawing mainly with pencil, she adds colour and texture with watercolour and ink. Each piece shows how people and nature are intertwined, emphasising the importance of both biodiversity and cultural diversity.'
