Two emerging artists launch new exhibition raising funds for causes close to their heart
A host of famous faces turned out to support an exciting art exhibition championing women. Socialite Lady Victoria Hervey, Celebrity Big Brother favourite Nicola McLean and reality star Jack Fincham all attended the show the Yield Gallery.
They all raised a toast to the She Who Dares showcase, with boasts work from two of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists, Fern and Danielle Tomlinson. Also there was Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri’s new squeeze, wildlife YouTuber Cam Whitnall. The pair went public with their relationship at Ferne Cotton’s Happy Place Festival at the weekend and are said to have been dating a couple of months.

Fern and Danielle Tomlinson welcomed the celebs to the launch of their exhibition in London. Fern’s work explores modern femininity through vivid colour and cultural commentary, while Danielle brings the animal kingdom to life with expressive wildlife portraits. Both artists are using their platforms to support causes they care deeply about.
Fern will donate 5% of profits from her new series to Bowel Cancer UK, following her mother’s recent diagnosis. And Danielle will donate 5% of her proceeds to Big Cat Sanctuary, aligning with her long standing advocacy for animal welfare and environmental stewardship.
The exhibition is now open at the gallery’s Eastcastle Street location just off Oxford Street. With pieces ranging from accessible limited edition prints (£500) to major original works (£20,000), She Who Dares is designed to welcome both seasoned and first time collectors.
“It was important to us that this show didn’t just celebrate powerful women in art, but also empowered those behind the scenes, artists giving back, collectors engaging with purpose, and a gallery willing to take bold curatorial risks,” says David Izzard, Founder and CEO of Yield Gallery. “This is the kind of exhibition that defines why we do what we do.”
“It’s rare to see a joint show that balances such strong individuality with shared values,” adds Lily Pritchard, Creative Manager at Yield. “This is about two women using art to express, challenge, and give back, and it’s exactly the kind of energy the art world needs right now.”
Artist Danielle knows Cam through their joint interest in Big Cat Sanctuary, a non-profit wild cat charity in Kent where he is director. Cam and Tasha were spotted holding hands on out at Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place festival at Gunnersbury Park.
Last week Tasha confirmed she’d bagged herself a new man. Saying she was in the “early dating stages” with someone else, she told Rylan Clark in an interview: “We clicked straight away, like he’s very ambitious, he’s driven… we’ve just been enjoying our company and just seeing what happens really.”
