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
Many thanks for all the contributions, board number 56 featuring guest artist Deborah Baker is now up outside Studio 36!

Thanks to everyone who came to our Hello Beckett day on Sunday! Sarah White & Philip Robinson gave a brilliant rendition of their Beckett omnibus The End is In The Beginning and Professor Laura Salisbury from Exeter University held an illuminating Q&A session beforehand. James Turner and Peter Nickol performed apt poetry and piano pieces while Mary Bramble’s children’s trail was as popular as the food and drink in Joelle’s café.
Pippa Marriott has written a great review of the day in Exeter Culture.
