Shopping at Candleford Green © Sue Scullard

‘Lark Rise’ is an exhibition of recently commissioned interpretative illustrations to the now classic work of English rural life, 'Lark Rise to Candleford', together with a series of contemporary photographs (c1880-1910), newly printed from the originals.

The artist, Sue Scullard, graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1983 and is a member of the prestigious Society of Wood Engravers.

As an illustrator, print maker and designer her work characteristically seeks out and explores qualities of pattern and texture in her subjects. A master draughtswoman, her command of perspective is second to none and inspires much of her work. ‘Lark Rise to Candleford’ is her latest series of illustrations.
