Carry’s interest in the landscape draws on many levels of fascination: history and geology alongside the botany and wildlife. She watches the nature of the unlabelled countryside trying to survive alongside agribusiness. Akroyd's characteristically colourful and organised images reflect sheer joy derived from the natural world. Describing the pictures in this exhibition she says ‘The subject matter may be constant, but I am restless with method and media. In this show are images made while sitting quietly in front of a view, while others are constructed from speedier sketchbook drawings made while out walking. Born in 1953, Carry was elected to membership of the Wildlife Society of Artists in 2000 and exhibits with them annually in London. Carry is a painter and printmaker, and her landscapes project a sense of a place without being too specific - somewhere between a map and a memory, with a starting point of direct drawing in the landscape.
