PICTURES by Lothersdale artists Louise Fletcher can be seen in the current exhibition in Gallery At The Art Shop in Ilkley.

Louise paints in acrylic, intuitively building layers of colour and often adding collage components. Her paintings are often inspired by real places, but are created from memory and imagination and focus on the healing power of art and nature.

Visitors to the gallery can also see oils by Amanda Watson, lino prints by Mike Smith, drypoint/etchings by Brian Hindmarch and pastels by Lucia Smith. The exhibition runs until the end of December and is open Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm.
