Swan Hill Studios Presents: Verdia – a solo exhibition by Amy Rhodes
Swan Hill Studios is proud to announce Verdia, a solo exhibition by emerging British artist Amy Rhodes, opening Thursday, 5 June. This vibrant and expressive collection marks Amy’s first solo show and features a series of abstract landscapes and floral works that celebrate the beauty, energy, and emotional power of the natural world.
Taking its name from the Latin viridis – meaning green, fresh, and full of life – Verdia reflects themes of renewal, transformation, and growth. Through bold colour, intuitive brushwork, and organic forms, Amy’s paintings evoke the rhythm of nature and the deeply personal ways we connect to it. Her work invites visitors to pause, reflect, and rediscover joy in the everyday.
Created during a time of personal and creative expansion, Verdia is a celebration of life’s imperfections and ever-changing beauty. Each piece captures a sense of movement and emotion, encouraging viewers to embrace their own journey of growth, however gradual.
"We’re delighted to present Verdia at Swan Hill Studios," says Sam Pooley-Stride curator and Founder of Swan Hill Studios . "Amy’s work is both uplifting and deeply resonant. Her ability to distil the feeling of being in nature into something so personal makes this exhibition a truly special experience."
