This August, Lyndsey Ingram will present a selection of works by Jane Hammond, Charlotte Verity, and Kate Friend, following on from their notable institutional exhibitions earlier this year.
Jane Hammond's solo exhibition, Angel's Trumpet, Adder's Tongue, at the Garden Museum, London (April–May 2026), presented a series of the artist’s botanical collages, bringing together flowers, grasses, seeds, insects, and birds from decades of printed and painted material. Hammond’s arrangements look back to the 17th-century Dutch masters and the vanitas tradition of early flower painting, while her vessels draw on Chinese ceramics, Pre-Columbian silver cups, Campbell’s soup cans, and ancient tiles. Rooted in tradition yet radically inventive, our forthcoming exhibition will present a selection of works shown at the Garden Museum for the first time.
At Harewood House, Yorkshire, Charlotte Verity's solo exhibition The Season Following (January–June 2026) brought together a group of paintings reflecting her sustained engagement with the rhythms and transformations of the natural world. Rooted in close observation of nature, both outdoors and in the studio, Verity’s work captures the fleeting beauty and continual cycles of the seasons. Beyond direct observation, her practice offers a deeply considered meditation on time, change, and our relationship with the natural world.
Five large-scale works from Kate Friend’s Portraits series were included in the Ashmolean Museum’s exhibition In Bloom (March–August 2026), which explored the enduring cultural significance of botanical imagery. Our forthcoming presentation will expand on this with additional works from the series, in which Friend invites artists, writers, designers, and other creatives to choose a flower or plant of personal significance. We will also present selected photographs from her series of botanical works made at Vatican-approved Marian apparition sites—locations of alleged visions of the Virgin Mary. Each work comprises a photograph of a single flower found growing on sacred ground. Characterised by soft focus, rich colour, and luminous natural light, these photographs transform flowers into intimate portraits that explore personal identity and the enduring resonance of the natural world.
