COASTAL Garden is a joint exhibition of work of three well-known local artists – mixed media artist Shirley Vauvelle, printmaker Stef Mitchell and textile artist Corinne Young.

The three artist friends, though they work in very different media, are inspired by the landscape and by the Yorkshire coast where they live and work, exhibiting nationally and internationally.

Shirley Vauvelle’s inspiration comes from her garden and her love of the coast. She creates quirky paintings which explore space, colour and texture, and freestanding sculptural assemblages with small earthenware creatures and reclaimed objects, including driftwood, wire and old maps. Shirley has recently been commissioned to make artwork for the Hilton Hotel in Venice.

Stef Mitchell’s work immerses her in the landscape. The picking of plants and laying them out on an inked up plate, rolling, squashing and smell have a slow rhythm that feeds into a connective thread from the space of the landscape to the interior of the studio.

All the prints she makes are monoprint and are signed and dated on the back. She is one of 10 UK-based printmakers selected to take part in the Connections North: Mirror Images exhibition in England, Scotland, Finland and Sweden in 2015.

Corinne Young’s textile pieces are 3D and are hand and machine embroidered onto fabric, paper, and her own handmade linen paper. Her floral and insect studies also have a historic feel inspired by her passion for antiques.

As well as framed pieces, Corinne makes unique fabrics for furnishings. Recent works have included embroidered wall features, stumpwork caskets and even an embellished clock made from a broken violin. She is currently collaborating with a Chelsea Gold medal winning garden designer and has recently exhibited at the GROW London show.

Exhibition of Artwork by Shirley Vauvelle, Stef Mitchell and Corinne Young is at the Triton Gallery, Sledmere House, Driffield, from August 4 to 9, from 10.30am to 3.30pm.
