Drawing A Line – Glynis Lamond Exhibition
Tuesday 5 May – Saturday 16 May
Glynis Lamond is a mixed media artist, and collecting is central to her practice.
She is driven by an urge to observe, touch, and manipulate found objects: the familiar everyday things invested with individual and collective memories and narratives. Materials seduce her, the patina of utility and wear, or the visceral and emotive effects of environmental forces.
Through an inexhaustive process of gathering and recording, she offers new perspectives on the unseen or taken for granted. Natural forms such as shells, seaweed, and pebbles are paired with similarly weathered, washed-up plastics. Becoming indistinguishable, their seductive aesthetic reflects the hidden detritus and pollutants pervading the planet. Her concerns lie with the production of ‘stuff’; the endless by-products of being human; and the commodified condition of contemporary life.
Glynis was a winner of The Horton Summer Exhibition 2025 and this is her first solo exhibition – awarded as a prize.

About The Artist
Glynis Lamond studied Fine Art at Loughborough College of Art, Scenic Art at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and Drawing at postgraduate level at University of Arts London (Wimbledon).
In her early career she worked as a community artist engaged in producing collaborative art projects with young people, and subsequently as an illustrator closely observing the natural environment.
Her interests were further broadened by work as a Scenic Artist for The National Theatre and The Royal Opera House where she learnt to work with other artists and producers and to a large scale. Here began her lifelong love of opera.
At school Glynis struggled with undiagnosed dyslexia, the theme of which informs some of her work. Her MA in Drawing drew on her appreciation of found man made objects in the environment which embody past memories, emotions, stories or forgotten crafts or ways of working. These objects are reworked to give them new life and meaning.
Before retirement Glynis worked as an art teacher in the Secondary and
Further Education sectors. She now works as a freelance artist engaged in many projects that reflect her interests in nature, music, people and found objects.
Glynis has participated in major group exhibitions including, ING Discerning Eye Exhibition (The Mall Galleries), RWA Open (Royal West of England Academy), Wales Contemporary (Garrison Chapel Gallery (Chelsea London).
The present exhibition ‘Drawing A Line’ at the Horton Arts Centre is her first solo exhibition.
