Open from 10am until 4:30pm, Tuesday to Sunday, the exhibition will feature a variety of beautiful artworks created in oils, acrylic, watercolour, pastel and mixed media.

"Painting has played a major part in my life for over 30 years and I can honestly say that it has given me support, healing, focus and of course sheer pleasure.

Seascapes feature strongly in my work, but I suppose living in Guernsey surrounded by beautiful coastline is more than enough to fuel my inspiration. Apart from my love of the sea my subjects also include landscapes, floral art and abstract.” - Val Travers

Entry is free and it is an access-friendly venue.
