FELTINGS: ROWENA SCOTNEY
Archie Brown's, Penzance
An artist and teacher who has taught English Literature for several years, it not surprising that Rowena Scotney combines poetry with her art of felting, writes Frank Ruhrmund.
From Minnaloushe inspired by W B Yeats' The Cat and the Moon to On the Zennor Road – the Red Wheelbarrow, based on Porthmeor Farm and a poem by William Carlos Williams, her creations are a delight. Relating to the changing seasons, the weather and the local land and seascapes, filled with the colour of words as well as their rhythms, resonance and shapes, her feltings are quite painterly in their approach and style. Socially aware and generous, Rowena Scotney is donating 20% of all proceeds from the sale of her work to Refugee Aid, and a further 10% to the Domestic Violence charity Refuge. Admission is free and her exhibition can be seen in Archie Brown's until July 4.

Now in its 18th year, the major exhibition being held in the Belgrave Gallery, St Ives, provides an opportunity to see, enjoy and perhaps purchase at accessible prices, works by key artists associated with modernism in the town, writes Frank Ruhrmund.
Prefaced, as it were, with the iconic photograph of the celebrated Crypt Group, that was taken in Wilhelmina Barns-Graham's studio in 1947, the exhibition contains her painting Railings St Ives which can be seen in this photograph. Featuring works by such as Margo Maeckelberghe, Breon O'Casey, Sven Berlin, Terry Frost, Barbara Hepworth, Bernard Leach, Bryan Pearce, and John Wells, to mention but a few, it is an exhibition not to be missed by anyone with an interest
in the history of art in St Ives. Admission is free, and it can be seen in the Belgrave Gallery until May 21.
NAOMI FREARS' NEW WORK
Kestle Barton, Manaccan
Filmed over several weeks through her studio window on Porthmeor Beach in St Ives, this work observes, arranges, frames, and choreographs different types of human activity and behaviour. Works on paper stimulated by source material gathered in preparation for this exhibition will be shown alongside the new film. It can be seen from Saturday until July 3. See www.kestlebarton.co.uk
ONCE AGAIN UPON A WAVE
Lifeboat Art Studio, Porthleven
Following a successful exhibition a year ago, three local artists are teaming up again to present a new exhibition of sea-themed pieces, ranging from acrylic paintings to fused glass table ware, from Saturday.
Gillian Gegg can be found at the port's craft market and various local events. She works in fused glass, making everything from pictures to tableware and jewellery.
Her larger pieces include evocative seascapes inspired by the Cornish coast. Gilly has produced a number of new pieces especially for this exhibition.
Jon Everitt paints an "irreal" world full of unlikely people and events inspired by his love of word play, music and the sea. He splits his time between the UK and France, where he is a member of an arts collective in a small town near the Spanish frontier.
Stella Pilsworth's work embraces the monoliths of steel that glide, seemingly effortlessly, through the beautiful Cornish seascape, a testament to the power of human achievement on the timeless ocean.
It runs until next Friday, May 20.
