For California-based Bermudian artist Soleé Darrell, painting is a deeply present, almost ritual practice rooted in intuitive colour. Working on stretched silk velvet with powdered pigment dye—applied by hand, brush, or poured in fluid gestures—her abstract works echo the vivid hues of Bermuda and memories of home. With only about 30 minutes before the pigment dries, speed and spontaneity are essential, grounding her in the moment as colours shift unpredictably. For Darrell, art is both creative and sacred; her kaleidoscopic works invite meditation, reflection, and a sense of connection to nature, spirit, and one another.

On display through to October. Exhibition curated by Eve Godet Thomas. With support from Nekeisha Cameron, Faye Cook, Jasmine DeSilva, Chen Foley, Deborah Jackson, Sylvia Jones, Delight Morris, Megan & Roddy Nesbitt, Susan Pateras, Dennis Pimentel, Alexia Seymour Crofton, Michelle Seymour Smith, Bill & Georgia Wharton and Desiree Wingo.
