Last Friday was such a special night📸🤎 The opening of our group exhibition, To Lift the Ground That Holds Us.

I’m so grateful to be exhibiting alongside such amazing, talented artists and to be part of something that explores culture and diversity in the art space. A huge thank you to @tireni.art for bringing us all together to make this happen. It’s been so rewarding to finally see all of our work come together!

I’m exhibiting three pieces: Rhythms of Our Roots, Manu Lisa and Home Comfort, each exploring different aspects of identity, heritage and representation.

The exhibition is open until 26 October at @lewishamarthouse, and we have a series of free workshops happening throughout the week!🏺🎨✏️ Free tickets are in the link in my bio. Would love to see you guys there🫶🏽

FRAMED IN BLACK: Meet The Artist - @kiera.grace

Kiera-Grace is a London-based visual artist whose practice explores memory, archives and the ways we preserve our personal and collective histories through photography and painting.

Creating collage like compositions that bring together vibrant oil paint and expressive brushstrokes, her work celebrates our innate ability to preserve memories, experiences and the stories that shape who we are.

Her practice is both expressive and reflective, exploring the relationship between memory and identity while questioning how we hold onto the past and carry it into the present.

You can discover Kiera-Grace’s work as part of our upcoming exhibition Framed in Black, in collaboration with The Lemon Seed Project.

FRAMED IN BLACK
📆 Saturday 24th & 31st October
⏰ 12PM – 4PM
📍 Havant House, 53
🎟️ BOTH DAYS SOLD OUT

What a lovely time it was hosting our Sketch & Stroll @kewgardens yesterday! It was so wonderful to see so many familiar faces plus some new ones too. We hope everyone enjoyed the session as much as we did 🌺

A huge thank you and welcome to @kiera.grace who is officially part of the delivery gang now! We couldn’t be more excited to have her with us 🌺

Keep an eye out for the next one which we will be announcing at the end of summer for September.

Spend an afternoon wandering and drawing through one of our favourite botanical spots in London. This guided experience will combine a relaxed walk through Kew Gardens with two creative exercises; the first will be focused on still life and the second on life drawing.

This event will be facilitated with one of our newest members; the lovely @kiera.grace - heyyy Kiera! 🌺

What you will get out of the workshop:
Light guidance on composition and observational technique, plus tips on gesture and using different materials for mark making. And as you’ll be spending the day with other Global Majority women and non-binary people you are very likely to share a laugh, swap ideas and have a good time connecting with likeminded souls.

What’s included:
- All creative materials
- Free entry to the gardens

Good to know:
- Max group size is 20
- No drawing experience is required
- You do not have to buy a ticket to enter Kew Gardens, entry is included in this workshop
- You can stay in the gardens and continue exploring once the workshop is over
- If temperatures exceed 33°C or heavy rain is forecast, the event may be postponed. We’ll give as much notice as possible if that is the case.

Accessibility:
The Gardens are largely flat with tarmac paths

Don’t forget:
Bring a water bottle, hat, sunscreen and wear comfortable shoes.

Spaces are limited - book early to avoid disappointment.

Kiera-Grace is a British artist whose work explores memory and the ways it is shaped through cultural transmission, the body, and archival traces. Drawing on the unreliable and sentimental nature of recollection, she creates layered compositions that emulate the distortions and residues of remembering, often allowing fragments of image, texture, and gesture to drift between clarity and obscurity. Her practice is rooted in an interest in how histories are inherited, retold, and carried through both personal and collective experience.

Often centred on scenes within the Black British diaspora, Kiera-Grace employs oil paint, acrylic, collage, image transfer, and material imprints to build surfaces where narrative and movement accumulate over time. Distortion, layering, and repetition recur throughout her work, reflecting the unstable and adaptive qualities of memory itself. Working through a personal yet culturally resonant lens, she investigates how identity can be formed through archives, mythology, family histories, and embodied remembrance. Her paintings and mixed-media works frequently hold a quiet tension between nostalgia and progression, asking how we acknowledge inherited histories without becoming fixed within them. Through these processes, her work reflects on resilience, visibility, and the possibility of carrying memory forward while continuing to live with pride and agency in the present.
