Selina’s inspiration for her summer exhibition at Scampston draws upon the unique ambience found here at Scampston during the summer months when the garden is in full bloom.

In this exhibition, Selina has captured Scampston’s atmosphere, character and colour by responding to the range and special qualities of its garden structures, plants and creatures (including dragonflies, butterflies and field mice).
