Exhibitions showing this Summer ...
Diane HainesExhibition 
During July VHL will feature an exhibtion featuring the work of animal artist Diane Haines. Diane draws her inspiration from the texture and feel of fur and hair of both wild and domestic animals and birds. Her work is characterised by a flowing style and imaginative use of colour. The majority of her work is in pastel as this allows her to create her own style. Date: 1 - 31 July |
Ann MarchExhibition 
During August and September VHL will host an exhibtion featuring the work of popular Highworth artist Ann March. Her signature style centers around highly detailed, traditional watercolour and pastel paintings. More recently Ann has expanded her traditional figurative boundaries. Lately, She has been exploring printmaking, collage, and more abstract work using acrylics and mixed media. Date: 4 August - 30 September |
