Weronika Anna Rosa White Lily, 2024 Gouache and pencil on cotton paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About WERONIKA ANNA ROSA (b. 1990 in Warsaw, Poland) - visual artist, painter and designer, since 2016 based in Lisbon, Portugal. Rosa grew up in a family involved in arts and natural sciences. These two distant, but strongly complementary worlds, constitute the pillar of her visual sensibility and sculpted her curiosity. Plants play a vital role in her work - they are not only subjects, but also a vehicle of meanings and emotions. Rosa uses botanical iconography to explore relations between plants and humans; botany and its connection with current socio-cultural and environmental factors. The artist captures the ephemeral matter of nature, looking into its strength and fragility, imperfections and beauty. Starting from a careful observation of plants, through botanical studies and realism, she abstractly scales the subject, bringing it closer to the size of a human body. Rosa intends to express the identity of plants by observing their essence, and by analysing their history and role in our culture. This naturalistic representation becomes a universal and metaphorical language. Rosa experiments with various artistic techniques and media to obtain diverse textures, scales and volumes, in a way to reach the observer on different sensory levels.

Jo de Banzie Behind them the stars still shined, 2021 Silver and collodion on aluminium Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Jo de Banzie is a photographic artist who employs the materiality of ancient and experimental process to explore memory and place. With a particular interest in motherhood within the context of war, she uses her own family stories as a starting point to explore themes of nurture and loss. Combining historical research and archive material with oral history and the imagined, Jo creates visual narratives as seen through a female lens. A process-led approach and the use of conceptually relevant materials assist her in visualising the unseen, whilst allowing the necessary space for collaboration with chance and serendipity. Following a long career as a professional photographer working in commercial and documentary portraiture, Jo took time to rethink her practice with further study at the University of the Arts London, graduating with distinction from the London College of Communication's Photojournalism & Documentary Photography master's programme. Her work is held in private and museum collections, including the National Art Library Collection at the V&A.

Prior to serving with the Royal Welch Fusiliers in WW1, David Jones was a talented artist, and indeed he remained a celebrated painter and engraver. However, the battalion's experience in Mametz Wood in July 1916 later led him to 'make a shape in words' to express his trauma. The lyrical and lacerating shape he made has lodged firmly in my artist's brain, and I carry it with me when making work on war. The Tintype process utilises a salted collodion emulsion sensitised with silver nitrate, one of the earliest photographic chemistries dating back to the mid-19th century. Collodion, or cellulose nitrate, was traditionally used as both a wound dressing and an explosive, otherwise known as gun cotton, and its use in the making of this work is conceptually relevant. "Stand-to. Stand-to-arms. Stealthily, imperceptibly stript back, thinning night wraps unshrouding, unsheafing - and insubstantial barriers dissolve. This blind night-negative yields uncertain flux. At your wrist the phosphorescent dial describes the equal seconds. The flux yields up a measurable body; bleached forms emerge and stand. Where their faces turned, grey wealed earth bared almost of last clung weeds of night weft - behind them the stars still shined."

Nessie Ramm Exit (moss and plantain), 2025 Oil on aluminium Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Nessie Ramm is a contemporary botanical and landscape artist on a mission to paint the road verges of Britain. She lives and works in East Sussex, where she also rewilds local verges. She gained a degree in Natural Sciences, specialising in plant biology, from Cambridge University before moving into oil painting. She has worked as an artist for over 20 years. In her series of 'Roadkill Cans' Nessie finds drinks cans flattened by traffic in the road and paints them with a plant which was observed growing nearby. Each can is meticulously opened out and cut to shape to expand the painted area - only the can itself is used, nothing is added. These works contrast the wastefulness of humanity with the redemptive vigour of nature. Roadkill Can No. 9, depicting a dandelion, was found in Stockwell, London. In her 'Signs of the Times' Nessie paints not one but a whole community of roadside plants, using a metal road sign as her canvas. Under her paint brush plants seem to grow over the familiar letters of signs such as 'Reduce Speed Now' or 'Diversion' and in doing so reclaim them and reframe their meaning. These works are both a celebration of the small wonders to be found in unloved spaces and a call for us to re-evaluate our relationship with the natural world. In 2019 Nessie was artist in residence at Wadhurst Park Estate for a very special project. 'In Celebration of Small Things' is a 12-metre-long mural depicting the wild plants and associated invertebrates, birds and small mammals to be found on this nature-focused estate. Each species is painted life-size and labelled with its common name to provide a useful resource for staff and visitors. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

These provide the backdrop for tiny tales and are inspired by trips to public parks and botanical gardens at home and abroad. Gorgeous colours and exquisite patterns of Indian miniatures have also played a part after a visit to Baroda, Gujarat in 2019. The cast are an assortment of hybrids, ornaments, toys and her own inventions. Some are 'precious' mementos, others are family figures; a few are gifted to find a role in the paintings. Whilst I have an idea about the narratives, I leave it for the viewer to make their own interpretations. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Nessie Ramm One Way (Self-Heal), 2025 Oil on aluminium Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Nessie Ramm is a contemporary botanical and landscape artist on a mission to paint the road verges of Britain. She lives and works in East Sussex, where she also rewilds local verges. She gained a degree in Natural Sciences, specialising in plant biology, from Cambridge University before moving into oil painting. She has worked as an artist for over 20 years. In her series of 'Roadkill Cans' Nessie finds drinks cans flattened by traffic in the road and paints them with a plant which was observed growing nearby. Each can is meticulously opened out and cut to shape to expand the painted area - only the can itself is used, nothing is added. These works contrast the wastefulness of humanity with the redemptive vigour of nature. Roadkill Can No. 9, depicting a dandelion, was found in Stockwell, London. In her 'Signs of the Times' Nessie paints not one but a whole community of roadside plants, using a metal road sign as her canvas. Under her paint brush plants seem to grow over the familiar letters of signs such as 'Reduce Speed Now' or 'Diversion' and in doing so reclaim them and reframe their meaning. These works are both a celebration of the small wonders to be found in unloved spaces and a call for us to re-evaluate our relationship with the natural world. In 2019 Nessie was artist in residence at Wadhurst Park Estate for a very special project. 'In Celebration of Small Things' is a 12-metre-long mural depicting the wild plants and associated invertebrates, birds and small mammals to be found on this nature-focused estate. Each species is painted life-size and labelled with its common name to provide a useful resource for staff and visitors. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.

Indian Mutiny 1857-59, no clasp (Mr. G, H, Kearney. Volunteer) nearly extremely fine £300-£400 --- Whilst this medal is correct in all respects, it is unclear exactly where Kearney came under fire. The Directories place him around Meerut and the Etawah and Aligarh Districts at the time of the Mutiny but the medal rolls fail to mention him. It is known that small groups of resourceful Indigo Planters and other growers joined together roaming through these districts looking for safe haven. George Henry Kearney was born on 22 April 1829, at Nasirabad, son of James Kearney, Gunner, 3rd Company, 4th Battalion Bombay Artillery and his wife Ann. He had enlisted in 1808 stating he was a labourer from Tullakean, County Down, for a period of 7 years. He served for 24 years before joining the Bombay reserve corps 1st Company Artillery Invalids in 1832, with further reserve service in the Invalid Veteran Company to 11 November 1841. He was struck off for Europe on 1 October 1845, an impressive 37 years service albeit much in the reserves. Kearney's adult life from the Directories and Mofussil lists show him firstly living at Hauper, a sub-district of Meerut, from 1849 to 1854. In 1852 it is noted he bought seedlings from the Botanical Gardens of the North West Provinces showing he resided at Goojranwalla, now in modern day Pakistan. In 1859 he resided at Aligarh being the Officiating Superintendent of Roads confirmed by his payment of subscriptions to “The Engineer's Journal and Railway and Public Works Chronicle of India and the Colonies”. In 1862 he is listed as an Indigo Planter at Bholee Plantation, Etawah and also a committee member to promote the objects of the provincial exhibition. In 1875 he was the Assistant at the Muloye Indigo factory Aligarh. While Kearney states he was an Indigo planter, his later writings indicate he was equally at home with the growing of cotton and coffee. This was partly due to the 1859 Indigo Revolt. The growing of Indigo forced by planters on land rented by the local peasants, or Ryots, from the land owning Zamindars had a devastating effect on both planters and growers alike. With the Ryots growing no food for their families both growers and planters had to diversify into food and other commodities. In 1863 Kearney was brought before a committee with respect to “cotton” growing in the Doab and the lack of water being distributed to the growers. His solution was to place the revenue from the Ganges Canal into the hands of the Collector which the Zamindars, who did not attend, thought a very bad idea. A. O. Hume, Commissioner of the district, stated that Indigo growing in and around the Etawah and Aligarh districts had declined considerably in favour of cotton and other profitable commodities. Kearney was a regular contributor and member of the Asiatic Society with learned articles on such subjects as the “Mode of destroying the Cotton Bole Worm”. Other contributions were to the Magazine of Natural History with respect to Butterflies found at the Berkodee Coffee-Estates at Mysore and to the Bombay Natural History Society. Further he was a Correspondent of the Indian Museum. In 1860 he married Arabella Frances, aged 14, at Chunar the daughter of Charles Hurley, Assistant Apothecary to the 31st Regiment, stating that he was an Indigo Planter at Aligarh. He had two daughters namely Arabella Frances Hurley who became the Principal of St. John's School, Dalhousie, Punjab (died 1890) and Kathleen Antoinette Isabella. Kearney died on 2 July 1900, of hyperpyrexia and is buried at Agra Cantonment Cemetery.
