KIN: New exhibition celebrates creative connections between emerging rural artists in Devon & Cornwall
It highlights the discovered elements of connection within the group, which weave together to form a unique creative community, manifested in an array of media. Through painting, installation, moving image, sound, sculpture, and mixed media, the exhibition reveals how shared experiences, challenges, and creative impulses weave together to form a distinctive creative network that reflects the realities of rural living in current times.
The exhibition features work by 11 artists who are all living or working in places outside of main urban centres, open countryside and coastal areas; with a lack of public and cultural infrastructure.
Featured artists:
Annabelle Hulbert / Emma Digerud-White / Francesca Willow / Gemma Mackenzie / Grace Rodgers / Helen Elizabeth Kuumbi / Ione Maria Rojas / Lottie Bolster / Octavia Madden / Tananna / Tushka (Chrissy Mouncey)

Emma Digerud-White is a visual artist based in Cornwall, UK. Largely self-taught, she has developed her practice through study at institutions including Central Saint Martins (UAL) and Newlyn School of Art.

Grace Rodgers
Grace Rodgers is an audiovisual artist and writer working from her home on the North Devon coast. Her practice begins with curious observation and mapping of the human and other-than-human ecologies that exist in place, making visible the often-invisible relationships between beings, land and culture – and the seasonal cycles and bio-rhythms that shape them. Her practice draws inspiration from Systems Thinking and Permaculture, which she studied at The Apricot Centre on the Dartington estate. Her work is rooted in wonder, and the healing power it brings.
Helen Elizabeth Kuumbi
Helen is a Cornwall based, contemporary landscape and seascape painter. She works in oils, acrylics and natural inks. Her work explores the narrative of the landscape and its natural and human history. She is self-taught painter, turning to painting after a career in mental health. Her visual practice compliments her work in music. Helen’s visual art is infused with strong rhythm, movement and place. Her paintings are meditations on land as a living archive – beautiful, vast and never still.
Ione Maria Rojas
Ione Maria Rojas is a material-led artist and facilitator working with colour and communities to explore how relationships with the more-than-human world reveal what it means to be human. Working between art, ecology and land justice, clients include: the Gaia Foundation, Greenpeace, Thames Festival Trust, RAMM Exeter, Make Southwest and the Crafts Council. Ione also runs Colour Lab where she works with schools, charities and arts institutions to show people how to make colour from plants, minerals and waste materials.
Lottie Bolster
Lottie Bolster is an artist-researcher, mental health advocate and mother. Drawing on lived experience and a background in clinical neuroscience, she uses mixed media storytelling to challenge dominant narratives around health and wellbeing. Her work focuses on maternal experience and disordered eating, exploring how cultural messaging shapes relationships with food. Alongside her practice, she contributes to NHS co-production and public engagement. She holds degrees from Oxford, King’s College London and Central Saint Martins, and has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally.
Octavia Madden
Octavia Madden is a contemporary artist based in East Devon. Her work has been exhibited widely across the UK, including at the Saatchi Gallery, London; the Atkinson Gallery, Somerset; and Plas Brondanw, Wales.

Madden is represented by New Blood Art.
Tananna
Tananna (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Redruth, Cornwall and a recent Fine Art graduate from Falmouth University. Tananna explores the intersections of identity, ecology, and mythology; their practice investigates the entanglement of land, bodies, and narratives. Through collage, poetry, performance, moving-image, installation, and costume, she engages with myth and folklore as living, evolving ecosystems. These narratives are transformed into immersive worlds that invite deeper reflection on interconnectedness.
Tushka (Chrissy Mouncey)
Tushka (Chrissy Mouncey) is a contemporary artist based in North Devon. She studied Fine Art at Plymouth University and a Foundation in Graphic Design at UAL, supplemented by print-making at Spike Print Studio, Bristol and Double Elephant, Exeter. Through a focus on seascapes and landscapes as familiar and recognisable access points, Tushka draws on light, colour, movement and a representation of senses being stimulated to explore capturing transient feelings of wonder and awe subconsciously experienced in the natural world.
