A new art exhibition titled 'Untamed' by artist Mary Ann Rogers is inviting visitors to explore the wild beauty of Northumberland. The show, running until July 12, features new paintings and prints in vivid watercolour that capture the dramatic scenery of the region, including rivers, crags, and hills, with animals and birds emerging from the landscape. A recurring motif is the resident hare at Leam Cottage, which appears in several pieces. Rogers uses five pure-pigment watercolours and large brushes to create her expressive scenes.
The exhibition matters because it highlights the work of one of the UK's most popular artists, whose paintings are highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Rogers has also been recognized with the Fine Art Trade Guild's Best Selling Published Artist award, underscoring her commercial and critical success. The show offers a rare opportunity to experience her intimate connection to the Northumberland landscape, bringing attention to both the artist and the region's natural beauty.
