Mary Watts: A Legacy Reimagined
Watts Gallery Artists鈥� Village is delighted to present Mary Watts: A Legacy Reimagined, an exhibition featuring the work of five artists that have previously worked at Watts Gallery as artists in residence and exhibitors:
Charlie Betts, Mary Branson, Halima Cassell, Ashleigh Fisk, Anna Marie Lamond.
This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore how these contemporary artists were profoundly influenced by the work and vision of Mary Watts (1849鈥�1938), an artist, master craftswoman, and pioneering suffragist.
Mary Watts: A Legacy Reimagined showcases the innovative artistic responses that emerged during each artist鈥檚 time at Watts Gallery, drawing on Mary Watts鈥� enduring legacy of community-building, collaboration, and creative empowerment. As a central figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, Mary Watts鈥� contributions, from her terracotta pottery and gesso reliefs to the design of the symbolist masterpiece Watts Chapel, remain a rich source of inspiration. The exhibition explores how the artists immersed themselves in her world, discovering her diaries, her creative process, and her deep connection to Limnerslease, the historic home and studio she created.
