Dorothy Ramsay Solo Exhibition

Friday 1st May - Sunday 31st May 2026

Dorothy Ramsay works from her home studio, near Keswick, on the flanks of Blencathra. She draws constant inspiration from the open fields, mountain views and shifting weather patterns that surround her home, with much of her work rooted in a strong connection to place.Her paintings range from bold, colourful abstracts to atmospheric landscapes of the Lake District, the west coast of Scotland and the Cumbrian coastline. Working instinctively, Dorothy allows each piece to develop naturally, creating work that feels energetic, personal and full of movement.

Our third floor gallery will include a carefully curated body of Dorothy’s work, bringing together a selection of paintings that reflect the breadth of her practice. From expressive landscapes to more abstract compositions, this collection of works offers a chance to explore the variety, freedom and individuality that define her work. A number of the paintings are focused on the idea of home, featuring various places Dorothy has lived over the years, and the memories attached to those places. It is a delight to enjoy those memories with her, and look through her fascinating, colourful life.
