'ON REFLECTION' - An Exhibition by Rachel Heard

About

A fantastic new Exhibition taking place between 19th April to 5th May, open 11am to 6pm (everyday except Mondays).
We are excited to welcome local artist Rachel Heard for her upcoming exhibition of original paintings inspired by walks in the local countryside.
Bewitched by the reflections of light on the surface of the water, induced to quiet contemplation, moments of
feeling immersed in nature and being at one with the surroundings, her paintings, Rachel hopes "not only address literal reflection but also the metaphorical interpretation, and a process of introspection in the context of nature".
We hope you can join us in the Gallery @ No 56 to immerse yourself in her calm, beautiful and enchanting works.
Prices start from £50 for drawings, with paintings ranging between £300 and £3000.
