More than just a Jewellery Shop…
KATA Jewellery plays host to three exhibitions a year in our Royal Tunbridge Wells Boutique, each showcasing two unique artists from the South East.
Each artist is handpicked, pairing together two which are complementary to each other and yet stand strongly on their own creating a unique interplay between the two.
‘The Patterns Between’
Friday 1st May – Monday 31st August
Our Summer Art Exhibition of 2026 brings together painters
Rebecca Tucker & Sally Smith
Sally Smith
Sally Smith is a Brighton-based painter whose vibrant abstract still lifes celebrate colour, pattern, and the quiet beauty of everyday objects. Drawing inspiration from collected treasures, flowers, ceramics, and domestic scenes, her paintings combine playful mark-making with expressive composition. Working intuitively, Sally layers bold colour, loose line, and decorative detail to create works that feel joyful, energetic, and deeply personal.
Balancing observation with abstraction, her paintings invite viewers to pause and discover unexpected relationships between shape, texture, and memory. There is a warmth and familiarity within her work — a celebration of the objects, moments, and surroundings that quietly shape our daily lives.
Rebecca Tucker
Rebecca Tucker is a London-based painter whose work explores the shifting space between abstraction, memory and representation. Beginning with locations that hold emotional or historical resonance, her paintings evolve through a process of translation — from place to photograph, and finally into layered, semi-abstract compositions. Through delicate networks of line, fragmented botanical forms and atmospheric colour, Tucker creates works that feel both observed and remembered.
Her paintings invite the viewer to move between recognition and ambiguity, surface and illusion, balancing expressive gesture with intricate detail. Inspired by the way we emotionally connect to landscape and space, her work becomes a meditation on perception, memory and the traces places leave behind.
