October Exhibition
Under Suffolk Skies
An Exhibition by Halima Washington-Dixon
Halima Washington-Dixon’s landscapes are a vivid response to the fields, skies, and shifting light of Suffolk. Living and working in Great Cornard, she translates familiar scenes into bold, textured canvases that balance energy with stillness. Her new body of work, Under Suffolk Skies, invites viewers to immerse themselves in expansive horizons and the timeless beauty of the countryside. Rooted in tradition yet unmistakably contemporary, these paintings reflect both a deep sense of place and the universal poetry of nature.
