Exhibition ‘Echoes of Nature’ Rugby Art Gallery and Museum | July 1 – July 12

Slow down. Observe. Listen to nature’s whispers.

Five local artists come together to explore the quiet beauty and enduring cycles of the natural world. Through painting and craft, ‘Echoes of Nature’ invites to experience the subtle presence of nature as interpreted through diverse artistic voices.

Each artist offers a unique perspective, using a variety of mediums and approaches to reflect on life, growth, decay, and renewal. Their work invites stillness and sparks reflection, encouraging conversations about the richness and fragility of the world around us.

Artistic interpretation plays a vital role in deepening our connection with nature. By translating emotion and insight into visual form, artists offer new ways of seeing—evoking wonder, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility. Their work challenges perceptions, highlights overlooked details, and inspires a more profound appreciation of our environment.

Come and experience how creativity can echo the rhythms of the natural world.

Chloe Deltufo

Chloe Deltufo’s abstract paintings are rooted in observing natural forms. Her intuitive, fluid strokes mirror cycles of creation and life as shapes unfurl and fade like living things. Each canvas guides the eye through patterns of birth, growth, and renewal.

Alina Bondarchuk

Alina Bondarchuk finds harmony between deep emotions and simple joys. Her luminous paintings create spaces for reflection, inviting viewers to discover personal stories and quiet beauty even in difficult times. Her gentle colors and thoughtful scenes spark conversations about resilience and grace.

Ginte Zacharini

Ginte Zacharini, a painter and ceramist, infuses her work with calmness and tranquility. Through meditative brushwork and delicate ceramics, she offers moments of peace and invites viewers to explore art’s soothing power. Each piece tells a quiet story of craft and calm.

Carol Wheeler

Carol Wheeler, mixed media artist, takes her inspiration from the Warwickshire countryside, but also, as we live so far from the sea, she likes to evoke memories of the coast, with paintings and gelliprints. Carol loves working in a semi-abstract intuitive style incorporating her three loves of colour, pattern and texture.

Kanika Sharma

Kanika Sharma is a fine art and abstract artist, known for creating evocative, textured paintings that layer colour, depth, and emotion. Her work draws inspiration from the changing seasons, natural landscapes, and the feelings experienced while exploring the outdoors. For this exhibition, she is presenting her Sea Collection—a series of works that celebrate the sea, sun, and sand through soft, calming palettes and rich, layered textures. Using a variety of materials including acrylics, oils, pastels, and watercolours, Kanika brings a distinctive vibrancy to each piece, designed to evoke emotion and complement any interior.
