mary pridmore - survey exhibition

​19 October – 6 November 2022

Mary’s story is powerful. Her portraits affirm the strength and determination not only of herself, but of the women in her life. Her paintings invite you in – to motherhood, to lavish interiors, and shadowy gardens – and they introduce you to the artist on a grand scale.

With her bold portraits, intimate paintings and drawings, this survey exhibition shared the extraordinary life and oeuvre of Mary Pridmore. The exhibition also featured special family photos and items personal to Mary. 

Ian Munro and Michael Kieran Harvey performed an intimate concert of their compositions in the gallery. They performed two original piano works commissioned by Mary:
- Ian Munro - Postcard to Mary
- Michael Kieran Harvey - Piano Sonata #7 : The Sparrow and the Mead Hall.
