Shrewsbury-based artist Lee Lewis has opened a solo exhibition titled 'Story' at Swan Hill Studio, featuring a collection of paintings and personal objects that explore themes of memory and personal narrative. The exhibition, which has been extended until February 28, 2026, focuses on Lewis's paintings inspired by childhood memories, observed scenes, and her Welsh heritage, and includes items like her late brother's telephone and her grandfather's handmade cricket bat.
This exhibition represents a homecoming for Lewis, who once lived in the Swan Hill area, and highlights her four-decade career working across printmaking, sound, performance, and painting. Her recent focus on painting and her consecutive inclusions in the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2024 and 2025 signal a significant period in her practice, offering insight into the work of a locally rooted artist gaining wider recognition.
