Kathryn Maple,
Artist in Residence

Kathryn Maple was artist in residence from 5 – 13 June 2026, as part of the third annual Mount Street Neighbourhood Summer Festival.

Drawing inspiration from the adjacent Mount Street Gardens, Kathryn Maple worked on an evolving collage and observational drawings that responded to the life, light and landscape of this historic Mayfair setting. Throughout the residency, Maple opened her studio practice to the public, where visitors could see her working in real time, offering the audience a window into her process.
