Cumberland Lodge, the educational charity in Windsor Great Park, is inviting members of the public to come and see the vibrant exhibition it is hosting until March 2020, by local couple, Sally Anne and Peter Jones.
There will be public opening mornings from 9-11am on Saturday 15 February and Saturday 28 March.
‘For Love in Creation' is a collection of works inspired by the landscapes of Windsor Great Park. Sally Anne, and husband Peter, a chartered surveyor by profession, share a love of the natural environment. For the last three years, they have been working together on canvases, to create a unique collection of paintings that portray the historic parkland that surrounds Cumberland Lodge.
Sally Anne Wake-Jones studied art at London University College of Education. She had her first solo exhibition at the Century Gallery, Henley, and has exhibited her paintings in galleries across the south-east of England. Her work is featured in four editions of the French publication R.E.G.A.R.D.S. She divides her time between her art and the family business, Guinea Pig Education, which sells educational material all over the world.
Their paintings are large, spontaneous statements, infused with light, and inspired by the beauty of nature. The couple are frequent visitors to the South of France, and the intense light of that region influences their bold use of colour.
‘Come and share our journey’
Sally Anne said, 'Our paintings express our worship and praise to our Creator. They depict symbols such as the forms of ancient oaks (symbolic of divine providence), the cycle of life and decay, and the flat, wide landscape that rolls on like the ever-changing seasons.
‘We are excited and honoured to be able to exhibit in such a beautiful and prestigious location and welcome everyone to come and share our journey'.

Founded in 1947, with the support of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, Cumberland Lodge is a charity that empowers people, through dialogue and debate, to tackle the causes and effects of social division.
We convene multi-sector conferences, seminars and panel debates that engage people of all ages, backgrounds and perspectives in candid conversations, to challenge silo thinking and build networks with the power to drive positive change.
By commissioning rigorous, interdisciplinary research to guide our conversations, and refining key themes of discussion into practical, policy-focused recommendations, we incubate fresh ideas that promote progress towards more peaceful, open and inclusive societies. In 2019-20, we are focusing on ‘Inclusion & Opportunity’. You can find out more about this series here.
Our educational programmes help to nurture future leaders and change-makers. We offer: subsidised study retreats and bursaries for university students; scholarships and personal development opportunities for doctoral students; conferences and retreats to support international students from all over the world; and thought-provoking workshops for school-aged children. Through these, we equip and inspire students and young people to work towards social progress in their lives and careers.
We also run regular public events for the local community, including Cumberland Conversations with guest speakers from public life, guided tours, fundraising dinners, film screenings, art exhibition open mornings, garden parties and literary retreats.
