‘The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.’

– Karen Blixen, author

Oceans, rivers, ponds, puddles; water comes in many forms.

Water is a universally recognised symbol for many, often conflicting, qualities: change, tranquillity, cleansing, motion, unreliability, longing, youth. And it’s been a source of creativity in all forms of art, from literature and music, to painting and dance.

From coastal vistas to sunsets over the sea, and turbulent crashing waves to seeking shelter under umbrellas on rainy days, our Member School student artists have often found artistic inspiration from water.

Explore water in all its diversity through their artwork.
