Woolwich Works’ first Summer Artist in Residence, Caroline Hands

About

Artist Caroline Hands is Woolwich Works' first Summer Artist in Residence. A mixed media artist for over 50 years, her exhibition will feature a range of Caroline's paintings, textiles and playful sculptures throughout the historic Fireworks Factory building at Woolwich Works.

Her large-scale canvases work with vibrant colour and dynamic gesture to create joyful, exuberant paintings that celebrate life in all its diversity. Her subjects range from the abundance of nature, found in gardens and dream-like landscapes, to the resilience of the human spirit in touchingly direct portraits and expressive depictions of dancers and performers.

* Supported by Berkeley and Royal Borough of Greenwich

Buying Artwork 
All of the artwork at this exhibition is available to purchase, including sculptures, fabrics, paintings, drawings and mixed media pieces.

You can find the artworks throughout the Fireworks Factory building, in Coopers Foyer, Lilian Barker Gallery, the Visitors' Book Café and in the Workers' Yard. You might also find paintings in some of the hallways.

Each artwork is labelled for easy identification and pricing, with a QR code that will lead you to that artwork's unique webpage. If an item doesn't have a label and you would like more information about pricing, then get in touch with Mark Slaughter via mark.slaughter@woolwich.works.
