Verdia, a solo exhibition by British artist Amy Rhodes. This vibrant new collection explores the beauty of nature through bold, abstract landscapes and floral works, offering a celebration of growth, change and the energy of the natural world.

 

Verdia, inspired by the Latin word viridis, meaning green, fresh and full of life, reflects the themes of renewal and transformation that run throughout Amy’s work. Her expressive use of colour and form evokes the emotional connection we have with nature and invites viewers to pause and reconnect with the world around them.

 

This exhibition marks an exciting milestone as Amy’s first solo show. Created at a time of personal reflection and creative expansion, the works in Verdia speak to the rhythms of life, its imperfections, beauty and ever-evolving nature. With each piece, Amy encourages us to embrace growth, however gradual, and to find joy in the everyday.

 

Swan Hill Studios is proud to showcase Amy's intuitive and uplifting vision. Her ability to translate the essence of the outdoors into something deeply personal and universally resonant is what makes Verdia such a special experience.
