Meet the Artists in Residence for 2025- Chandos Artists
The Chandos Artists are a small group of friends who produce a variety of work of a high standard. They are Pam Adsley, Madeleine Brennan, Brian Cowan, Bindu Morjaria, Jenny Oliver, Harriet Pelham, Mary Pelham and Gaye Russell. You may have seen their exhibition in the Stables Gallery last year. For 2025 they have been invited to be Artists in Residence at Reveley. This exciting new project involves hanging six different exhibitions of their work in the gallery from early March through to mid-November.
Exhibitions will be as follows :
11th June – 12th July
As part of the ongoing residency the latest exhibition in the Stables Gallery is by two of the Chandos artists Pam Adsley and Jenny Oliver.
Pam is a former art teacher and experienced artist who mostly paints landscapes; coastal scenes being a favourite, but she also paints architectural subjects and garden scenes. She works in a variety of media, choosing whatever is appropriate for the subject and how she wants to portray it. She enjoys working outside and you may see her painting in the lovely garden at Reveley Lodge.
Jenny Oliver graduated from Harrow School of Art with a diploma in Art and Design and worked as a freelance illustrator for many years. She mostly paints in oils; subjects include human and animal portraits, landscapes and still life. Jenny also enjoys printmaking and uses various methods with lino relief printing being a favourite. She too may be seen sketching in the garden at Reveley.
Both artists use images of their work to make greetings cards and these, plus unframed work will be on sale in the gallery during the exhibition.
The dates are 11th June to 12th July, Wednesday to Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm.
16th July – 23rd August – Will feature Gaye Russell and Madeleine Brennan with their serene and beautiful landscape and still life paintings.
27th August – 4th October – Will feature Brian Cowan showing his vibrant paintings – truly eye catching.
8th October – 15th November – The final exhibition will again feature all artists and show work inspired by Reveley, much of it painted on site.
The Stables Gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday from 10 until 4. All the work will be for sale.
As well as the exhibitions, the Chandos Artists will be present on various dates, meeting and greeting visitors and painting in the garden. They are also running the Artists’ Challenge on 5th July – part of the Bushey Festival.
If you are visiting Reveley Lodge when the café is open do have a look at the exhibitions while you enjoy your refreshments and if you see an artist painting in the garden please come and say hello.
About the Gallery
Reveley Lodge has been linked with the art world for many years and past owner Albert Chewett, a painter, was a pupil of Hubert von Herkomer. The conversion of the old carriage house in our Victorian stables was made possible through a generous private donation and a grant from Hertsmere’s Community Infrastructure Fund.
