t may be winter outside, but in my heart it’s spring’ – as the song goes – is probably what we are all feeling right
now. the gloomy weather has been relentless and we are yearning for some sunshine. so what better way to lift the spirits than to bring some inspiring art into your life. all My Dreams unfold here by Yvonne Coomber is
one surefire way to make you smile no matter what the weather. this totnes artist has developed her distinctive style over the past ten years and and has won a legion of admirers. taking her inspiration from the Devon coun- tryside she paints colourful abstracts of wildflowers with such abandon that you feel quite giddy.

During the course of the exhibition Louise Courtnell will be demonstrating Lenkiewicz’s renowned technique for teaching aspiring artists the essential methods of figurative painting, which he called “the tone of the tone, the shape of the shape, the colour of the colour”. Yana trevail will be giving a humorous and enlightening talk about her life with Lenkiewicz, first as a muse, then as his studio assistant and finally as a highly regarded portrait painter in her own right. the five women have never shown together before and it will be interesting to see how they connect on the walls of the gallery – we can’t wait! throughout the south West, artists will be putting the
