Local Norfolk artist, Jacqueline Smerdon is bringing her first solo exhibition to Makers Gallery Holt from 1-6 October 2026.

My Expression. Your Eye. This exhibition invites visitors to step into a world of colour, exploring a collection of paintings created in different artistic styles and approaches.

Rather than presenting one single way of seeing, Jackie invites visitors to discover the works for themselves and ask a simple question.

Which one speaks to you?

A self-taught artist, Jackie has developed her practice through exploration, experimentation, and a passion for painting. Her work embraces colour, atmosphere, and mood. These different approaches reflect her belief that art is ultimately personal – what connects with one person may speak very differently to another.

“This is my first solo exhibition, so it is a very special moment for me,” says Jackie. “I’ve always believed that art should make you feel something. I want visitors to take their time, explore the different styles and simply enjoy looking. I would love to hear their feedback.”

The exhibition is open to everyone, whether they are experienced art enthusiasts or simply curious to see what is on display.

There is no obligation to purchase – visitors are warmly invited to come in, look around and enjoy the exhibition.
