Distinguished Artists

Recent arrivals to the South Devon area, expert watercolourists, and husband and wife duo, Michael MacDonagh Wood and Veronica Charlesworth, offer their first Devon exhibition since 2006, curating a selection of stunning watercolour and oil works that the pair are internationally renowned for.

Married in 1979 having both studied techniques across painting, etching, printmaking and graphic design, they spent several years honing their skills and following careers producing original lithographs and screenprints, with Veronica having set up a workshop in 1974 with two fellow artists. Both now work primarily in watercolours, finding the medium suits their respective focuses; for Veronica, this is capturing the natural world in vivid still life, floral works and landscape paintings, whilst for Michael, it is the capture of the fluid spaces where architecture and water meet in stunning Venice scenes that he has become widely known for.

Together and individually, they have exhibited extensively across the United Kingdom, Europe and the USA and supply galleries nationally with high quality, signed, limited edition prints. This exhibition offers the unique opportunity to view a curation of original works from both artists including a range of European and local scenes.
