This beautiful little building with its welcoming, wide windowed lobby leading to a high walled top lit worship space and gallery which opens into a well-maintained rear garden makes an ideal exhibition space.

 

We opened in September 2021, hosting our first exhibition Sacred Spaces: architectural etchings and drawings by Alison Neville.

 

Our policy is to showcase new and established artists, and to involve the local community and the wider art world.

​

The Meeting House is in West Ham Lane, on the corner of Mark Street. It was designed and built for the Unitarian community in 2007 by award winning architects Fletcher Priest alongside their East Thames Housing project. Originally intended as a weekly worship space it has, since its opening, developed strong ties with the local community and broadened its ministry to encompass cultural expression, arts, crafts, performance and music. The Stratford Unitarian Gallery was an obvious next step.

I guess I was a sixties teenager and remember the hippie festivals and the ‘flowery music’. So flowers were a theme amongst that time. I was also a nature lover and family holidays to the wilds of Ireland out of the London smoke were a great escape. I was a bit of a dreamer in the natural world.

Art at school was a background interest until I got to O level. However my interest changed and continued in further education with psychology and social work, apart from a gap year in France where I soaked up art and art books.

I think fertility and art are closely linked and when I had my daughter I created with her and played and explored different mediums, including pottery and 3d, however I decided to start painting and basically was self taught alongside studying foundational art in Swansea and other special interest courses in watercolour and other mixed media.

I love colour so flowers offer that in abundance as well as texture .
I sometimes paint loosely and abstraction as well as offering a feel good factor. I felt like I was working in an imaginary garden when I did these paintings. Hope you enjoy them too!!
