Description
A colourful abstract print on canvas, by artist Alice Sheridan, float mounted and framed. Artist Alice Sheridan paints intuitively adjusting the composition and choosing bold and contrasting colours as she starts out on each work. "I work on a series of paintings at the same time and begin with no endpoint in mind which allows each painting to develop its own unique history," she says, having sketchbooked her work and then moved to wooden panels for painting. "As layers build, this tougher base allows me to sand and scrape back revealing previous colours and this keeps a sense of surprise and spontaneity in the finished painting. At some point, there will be a moment where the painting starts to make suggestions and I have to ‘catch’ the clues it’s giving me. It is essential to balance the early freedom with a sensitive and analytical approach to guide the painting to a resolution. Towards the end, the pace slows and changes become more considered and the colours become more refined, but I’m mindful to keep taking daring risks right until the end so the painting keeps that feeling of energy."

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
