Harvesting Memories - My work is about my experience of landscape. A childhood spent in rural Hampshire in an area famed for its natural beauty fostered a life-long love of the English countryside.

I am inspired by my walks in the agricultural landscape that surrounds my Suffolk home. Working almost entirely from memory of the experience, I paint semi-abstracted landscapes in oils.

I don’t seek to romanticise the landscape but rather to encompass both the reality of modern agriculture with its huge fields of monoculture and industrial style farm buildings as well as the beauty of the remaining hedges and field margins.

Back in the studio my process is very much a two-way conversation with the painting itself and a search to find that certain ‘something’ that I didn’t quite know I was looking for. 

July 30th to Aug 29th - PV 31st July 6 - 8pm
MINI PRINT INTERNATIONAL 2026
Mon-Sat 10-3pm FREE

The Mini Print International is a unique annual exhibition of original prints by artists from around the world. Selected in Barcelona by ADOGI, the show has been running since 1981 and features over 650 artists from more than 60 countries.
Bringing together both established and emerging artists, the exhibition offers a vibrant snapshot of contemporary printmaking, with a wide variety of styles, subjects, and techniques on display.

Wingfield Barns has a long-standing connection with the exhibition, first bringing it to the UK in 1992 following a meeting between Ian Chance and Pascual Fort, an associate of Salvador Dalí. Today, it remains one of the few UK venues to host this international showcase.

Mark Croxford - Recurring Narratives
Mon-Sat 10-3pm FREE

‘Recurring Narratives’ is based on observations of the local landscape. Documenting time & space in the emotion of a selected moment. These one off printed images are quiet reflections, snapshots in time evoked by the physical history and an imagined narrative of the Suffolk landscape. ​
​
I graduated from Newcastle Polytechnic with a degree in Fine Art in 1985 worked as a studio assistant to Eduardo Paolozzi, Barry Flanagan and a number of other contemporary artists. I have travelled extensively throughout the Baltic States since 1993, wood carving, teaching and participating in sculpture symposiums. I have exhibited in Estonia, Finland, Holland and Britain and have work in a number of private and public collections.

I moved from the city to rural Suffolk six years ago which has slowly informed the way I think about making work, the materials I use, and the objects I make. My choice of colours has become much more in tune with the seasons, use of materials and my place in it. For me it's about ideas and a sense of place.

‘Recurring Narratives’ is an interesting diversion from my normal sculptural practice and an idea that I have wanted to pursue, though print, for quite some time.

Sept 3rd to Sept 25th - PV 5th Sept 2-4pm
Jo Chapman, Hayley Field - THIS ‘N’ THAT
Mon-Fri 10-3pm
Saturday 12th and 19th 10-3pm
​FREE

THIS ‘N’ THAT brings together the work of Suffolk-based artists Jo Chapman and Hayley Field, exploring their shared interest in colour and composition through drawing, painting and ceramic sculpture.

Hayley Field, who studied Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art in the 1980s, draws on over 30 years of experience in inclusive participatory arts. Her work connects observation, ideas and lived experience, exploring themes of tension, contrast and control. Alongside drawing and painting, she creates installations from modular elements, using reconfiguration to generate new narratives and relationships.
​
Jo Chapman is a UK-based site-specific artist working across sculpture, drawing, installation and ceramics. Originally trained in Embroidery at Birmingham School of Art, her process-led practice explores place, memory and materiality through research and collaboration. With more than 25 years of experience delivering public art commissions in the UK and internationally, she maintains a strong interest in materials and their role in shaping our environments.

​Oct 1st to Oct 24th - PV 1st Oct 6-8pm
Elaine Nason - Close Encounters
Mon-Fri 10-3pm FREE
Please note: Closed Saturday 3 October.

Born in Walton-on-the-Naze, Elaine Nason studied at Colchester School of Art from 1955 to 1959, completing both the Intermediate and National Diploma in Design (NDD) courses. During her time there, the Principal was the renowned printmaker John O’Connor, and the school welcomed an inspiring programme of visiting tutors, including John Nash, Alastair Grant, Derrick Greaves and Richard Chopping.

Following art school, Elaine enjoyed a 36-year career as an infant teacher, working primarily at Laxfield School in Suffolk, while continuing to develop her artistic practice.
Working in oils, watercolour, lino print and monoprint, Elaine’s work reflects a lifelong fascination with the everyday world. Her subjects often centre on domestic interiors, the female figure and still life, themes that have remained consistent throughout her career and are evident in sketchbooks spanning many decades.
​
Strong drawing and thoughtful composition are at the heart of her practice, qualities that are equally present in her printmaking. Elaine has exhibited widely throughout East Anglia and has been a member of the Suffolk Group since 1991.
