Along the Margins, 2026 — Helen Boardman
A delicate and closely observed botanical landscape, Along the Margins reflects Helen Boardman's sensitivity to the wildflower-rich edges and hedgerow margins of the Staffordshire countryside. These liminal spaces — the borders between field and path, moorland and lane — are among the most biodiverse and visually rich in the British landscape, and Boardman captures their fleeting, seasonal character with quiet precision.
Part of the Autumn Reflections series, 2026.
A small series of just 3 paintings paintings reflecting on Autumn.
Wedgwood blue skies contrast with the red and yellow ochres of draying bracken and curling leaves. Walking takes a slower pace along and across ploughed fields.
