-Artists were invited to submit any type of fine art, including two or three- dimensional pieces and pieces up to 1.8 metres in height, for consideration in the exhibition, with one artist being chosen for a solo exhibition at the gal­ lery next June, u _ .. : i l ie winning artist was former local


government officer Kath Baron, whose piece, “Flamingos’-, forms a dramatic centrepiece to Inspired.


Ribble Valley Borough Council’s


arts development officer, Mark Mason, said: “Inspired is a fantastic oppor­ tunity for local artists, amateur and professional, to exhibit their work at a prestigious venue that attracts hun­ dreds of visitors a week.. “There is a rich artistic heritage in


Ribble Valley and some fantastically talented artists, and this year’s e.xhibi- tion features some outstanding work.” The exhibition also features Daniel


Burke’s “Green Man,” which captures the spirit ofilocal woods in stained glass; the portraiture of the nationally- acclaimed Ellen Riley; “The Musi­ cians,” a vibrant group study by Paris­ ian Cedric Charleuf, who is currently resident in Ribble Valley; the ancient felt-making of Angela Baptie and the hand-woven silk' and wool miniature landscapes of Mary Kelly. Admission to the exhibition is free
