A Collective Unfolding

Saint Cloche celebrates a dynamic year in contemporary art with a special Year-End Exhibition presenting three distinct bodies of work by Stacey Rees, Elizabeth Lewis and newly represented Toronto-based artist Celia Lees. Although each artist’s practice is unique, their work moves fluidly between figure, form and atmosphere, evoking emotion through softened edges, tactile surfaces and intuitive colour.

The 2025 Year-End Exhibition brings together three artists whose works contemplate inner shifts, emotional landscapes and imaginative worlds. Presented side by side, these independent bodies of work offer a thoughtful and uplifting moment as Saint Cloche reflects on a dynamic year of creativity and community.

- Kitty Clark, Founder & Curator

2025 Year-End Presentation

Stacey Rees

Working from her bushland studio overlooking the Grampians, Rees draws from photographic references and compositional nuance, informed by artists including Mirka Mora, Yvette Coppersmith and Sidney Nolan. She has been exhibiting since 2002 and was a finalist in the 2020 Percival Portrait Painting Prize.

Celia Lees

Lees creates large scale abstractions that channel lived experience, memory and the physicality of mark making. With a background in design and fashion, she brings a refined sensitivity to materiality, texture and colour. Her work is held in private and commercial collections across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Elizabeth Lewis

Lewis has exhibited internationally, completed residencies at Kil.n.it and Guldagergaard in Denmark, and is currently studying at Central Saint Martins. Her practice explores surrealism, ruin and cosmic imagery through meticulous hand building.
