Bringing together a selection of works that reflect an artist deeply attuned to place, memory and presence, this exhibition follows her final show presented 2022 and offers a glimpse into Everard-Haden’s distinctive vision. Her luminous depictions of expansive landscape vistas in Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and Swaziland, transcend their physical surroundings, evoking a deep sense of belonging and a connection to the rhythms of the natural world. Her still life renderings are tender and contemplative, transforming familiar objects into moments of quiet reflection, revealing the extraordinary within the everyday.
