Do you remember what it was like to be a child? The wonder, the questions, the thrill of turning the pages of a picture book and being transported to another world? Illustrator and early years practitioner Helen McKnockiter invites you to rediscover that magic.

Inspired by children she has worked with and her own vivid childhood memories, Helen’s illustrations are crafted to captivate curious young minds and awaken the imagination. Each artwork in this enchanting exhibition tells its own story — sparking questions, emotions, and possibilities. What will children see? Feel? Imagine? Will they wonder what happens next, or dream up stories of their own?

Helen’s work bridges the gap between child and adult, memory and imagination, art and narrative. From whimsical creatures and gentle humour to quiet wonder and heartfelt moments, this exhibition offers something for everyone — whether you’re young, or simply young at heart.

Come explore a world where every picture is a story waiting to be told.
