PENELOPE ROSE SOLO SHOW AT LLANOVER HALL 20TH jUNE TILL 31ST JULY 2025

Llanover Hall is proud to present Penelope Rose’s Solo Exhibition, a striking showcase of work spanning 15 years, selected from across her collections. This is her first solo show in quite some time, and the response has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Following a warm and vibrant Open Evening on 20 June, Penelope welcomed a crowd of guests who were treated to exquisite refreshments provided by our catering star Sarah (@nevertrustaskinnycook), whose professional flair and delightful service truly elevated the event. Huge thanks to Sarah for her stunning array of hors d’oeuvres, wine, and cooling drinks—and for making the evening unforgettable. (Interested in hosting your own catered event at Llanover Hall? Reach out to Sarah via Instagram for private or hall-hosted event catering.)

The exhibition features a deeply personal selection of Penelope's work, exploring themes of identity, duality, and transformation. Her bilateral art practice—drawing with both hands simultaneously—reveals a striking symmetry and intuitive richness that is captivating visitors and sparking meaningful conversations.
