Get On Board 57

A selection of works by Veronica Gosling.

Peter Farrie, a long time friend and member of the studio team said these words:

An extraordinary ‘artist’, Veronica was not always comfortable with that term and the air of pretentiousness that it can imply. She said to me once when asked how she would categorise herself simply that ‘I make things’.
Not always relying on conventional materials she would use whatever was around her, found items, leftovers.
Nothing was wasted, she instinctively had a sustainable mindset. Veronica was constantly encouraging others, interested in what we were doing, how we thought, what made us tick. This can be seen in the countless exhibitions and events she held at Studio 36 and the Community Board outside that she started in 2020 as a brilliant response to the Covid lockdown’

Today we have put up the new board with some of her work:

Veronica

From the Studio Team & The Gosling Family:

Dear Friends,

We’re writing to share the sad news that Veronica has moved on to the next world.

Over the past months, her capacities gradually declined, and she became less able to reach her studio or do the art that brought her such joy and energy. As many of you will have seen from her recent messages, she continued working on her “Get on Board” projects right into her final days. She passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early hours of November 20th.

We thank you for your loyal support of the gallery over the past 20+ years. It gave Veronica purpose, pride, and a profound sense of connection. Without you, it could not have become the joyful, eccentric, and quietly radical hub of creativity that so many of us came to cherish.

We will share details of the funeral as soon as they’re confirmed. We also plan to hold a memorial exhibition sometime in 2026, which will be a chance for us all to celebrate Veronica’s extraordinary artistic vision once again.

In the meantime, the gallery remains a lived-in and working space — albeit one that’s now missing its most vital spark.

Veronica promised to return as a seagull, so keep your eye out for her and keep an eye on your sandwich.

With love and gratitude,

The Studio Team & The Gosling Family
