Mary Sumner
We are so delighted with the successful Exhibition and Book launch that was held in September 2023 for the artist Mary Sumner.
Lantic Gallery was Mary’s home gallery as she lived not far away in Westexe, Tiverton. As an artist and friend she holds a special place in our hearts after exhibiting her work for several years with sell out shows. We loved having her paintings on the walls once again, showing a collection of original paintings, lino prints and limited edition signed giclee prints as well as the very beautiful recently published book – ‘Mary Sumner’ The exhibition was a sell out , with queues out of the door and some customer’s waiting for six hours outside to secure their painting at the Private view with nearly 100 people attending - an amazing evening!
Mary agreed to the book which celebrates her life and work before her untimely passing in 2016. It is a tribute to her love of the countryside and the plants, flowers and creatures that live within it. For the reader a glimpse into her world of beautifully observed details, transformed by her gift of colour and composition and capturing so perfectly the essence of everyday life with uplifting spirit. We still have books available at the Gallery and a few original lino prints. From time to time we have an original painting in that we may be selling on, but this is vey rare.
