AWARD-winning West Country artist, Lucy Evans, will be exhibiting for one day only at the village hall in Brentor on Saturday, October 23.
Lucy, (pictured left) who has exhibited in the Royal West of England Academy, did her first landscape work around Brentor, and has often returned to be inspired ? despite the weather ? by this part of Dartmoor.
There will be an opportunity to see these paintings as well as work in progress.
Lucy Evans has been painting for a relatively short time. She picked up a paint brush for the first time since school eight years ago.
Favourite places to paint are Tucking Mill lake and Horsecombe Vale locally. Family farmland and the River Wye in Herefordshire are others. Dartmoor and Cornwall have provided inspiration for paintings in all winds and weathers!
?I would like my paintings to help people appreciate the ordinary scenes that,? she said.
?If I have an aim to my work it is to find and bring out beauty from the simple and ordinary.?
If someone enjoyed the natural world around them a little more from having seen my painting of it, then I would feel very privileged.
Lucy was runner-up in Artist and Young Artist of the Year competition 1999 and she exhibited in the 150th Autumn Exhibition at the Royal West of England Academy 2002.
Paintings will be for sale in aid of the Brentor News. The exhibition is open between 9am and 5pm ? admission is free.
