Waterstone Gallery's September exhibition, Stepping Outside, features new work by Angelita Surmon. Inspired by calligraphic marks found in nature, Surmon's close-up study of grasses, branches and brambles pull the viewer outside and into a dense, magical undergrowth of ever-changing color and light. Her multilayered acrylic paintings and kiln-formed glass works celebrate the role nature has played in her 40 year career as an artist - and she invites the viewer to step into her world and explore the ways nature can offer sustenance and solace for the soul.
