been awarded the OBE who wanted an AoH styled view of an old Romany Gypsy Camp, a view of a Guernsey watermill for a previous owner and a church wedding scene for a young couple. Her greatest thrill remains displaying her work in local exhibitions and seeing the smiles on the faces of people as they look at it.

Arts Market Launch a Success
Local artists set up stalls for the first time at Tavistock’s new arts market on Saturday July 16th, 2011
The market featured 14 stalls with local artists selling everything from paintings and textiles to ceramics. Visitors to the market had the chance to talk to them about their work, buy unique items or request a commissioned piece. The Borough Council has worked with the town’s Chamber of Commerce, local businesses and the
Town Council to research and co-ordinate the Arts Market, as well as donating the use of the car park free of charge to host the event.
Cllr Robert Oxborough, Chairman of West Devon Borough Council’s Environment and Community Committee said: “This new market was a great success and there has been some very favourable feedback from the stall holders who are looking forward to the next markets in August, September and October.
“Despite the poor weather Bank Square was busier than a normal Saturday and this was exactly the aim of the new market. We look forward to its popularity increasing as awareness about this event grows.”
Artists wishing to book a stall for future dates should contact local artist Tessa Clarke, who has taken the lead on this project, by emailing her at
tessa.clarke1@
virgin.net or contact her at the market. (

The market will run on the third Saturday of every month, in the car park at Bank Square, Market Street, Tavistock.
