Following their successful show in 2025, Sally Dorrity and Tracy Florance return to Spring Cheltenham with their unique blend of statement ceramic pieces and contemporary photography.
Based in Oxford, Sally works in stoneware clay to create small, medium and large pieces, both functional and sculptural, suitable for indoors and outside. She is very drawn to movement and texture in her work. Tracy specialises in original photographic images from around the world. She attempts to capture patterns and shapes to be found in nature and the built environment which others might miss.

Drawing on the curves, flows and forests of the South-West English landscape and the long‑standing equestrian heritage of Cheltenham, Rose’s practice blends sculptural mark‑making, layered materials, and arts‑and‑crafts influences to create richly textured surfaces that pulse with energy. Her work sits at the intersection of contemporary expressionism and tactile craft, offering a fresh, emotionally charged interpretation of one of Britain’s most enduring artistic subjects.

Set within Spring Cheltenham’s distinctive rotunda gallery, the exhibition creates an immersive environment that amplifies the work's physicality and presence. While rooted in place, Year of the Horse speaks to resonating themes: grief, healing, and the quiet power of renewal. Each piece reflects Rose’s own journey through loss and recovery, woven into the wildlife and landscapes that shape her daily life.

With its fusion of contemporary technique and emotional depth, Year of the Horse positions Jo Rose as an exciting voice in the evolving landscape of British art.

Ephemera : minor transient documents of everyday life. Halcyon colours that connect us to childhoods; 70s’ fonts and Victorian handwritten script - papers smoothed and stroked and aged by touching : physical, analogue and intimate.

Using vintage papers, old linen books and traditional oil paints, Tricia blends gestural markmaking and layered surfaces to create contemporary abstract pieces with richly visually tactile surfaces that sit within the British Modernist aesthetic.

The pieces explore memory, transformation and the quiet beauty of imperfection and noticing the often overlooked.

I am a native Cheltonian who has been painting in oil for many years but has never offered works for sale until now.

Recently I have moved from old master copies such as Dutch still lifes to my own compositions which combine renaissance, pre-raphaelite and art deco influences. Although I mainly enjoy figurative subjects I also enjoy more contemporary genres such as steampunk, although still working in the academic manner. 

I work exclusively in oil, using a traditional layering technique to build up detailed paintings on panel or linen. I am always looking for a harmonious whole using toned and muted colours to somehow relive the beauty of past artistic genres. Although I don't use any artificial ageing techniques per se, my ultimate objective would be for my work to look timeless, as though it has already been hanging for tens or hundreds of years.
