ART SHOW BY LOCAL ARTIST HILARY WATKINSON – “HAPPINESS ON CANVAS”
7th & 8th October 2023
Art Exhibition by local artist Hilary Watkinson, retired teacher, published poet and artist.
Hilary’s paintings are contemporary, abstract, colourful and innovative interpretations of gardens in action. She is self-taught and didn’t start painting until in her 60’s. Refusing to be limited by arthritis and her inability to grip a paintbrush, Hilary uses acrylics on canvas applied with a kitchen spatula and also (very messy!) pouring paint techniques to captivate garden memories and principally how the wind effects the energy in the plants. Original paintings to view and with the opportunity to purchase. Happiness captured on canvas.
