About the event

Come and Explore the Medieval Marginalia Exhibition!


Step into a celebration of all things weird, and wonderful from the margins of medieval manuscripts. I’ve long been fascinated by these historic treasures, the curious creatures, playful side-stories, and miniature worlds hidden between the lines.


This group exhibition will feature my piece The Illuminated Manuscript, painted in watercolour and finished with raised gold leaf. Inspired by a quote from Van Gogh about the restorative power of the countryside, the work blends historical techniques with a touch of the fantastical.

Fine art archival prints of the piece will also be available.


Opening Night: Thursday 21st August, 6pm–8pm.


Show curated by Jonathon Beaver
