🎨 Upcoming Exhibition at the Willoughby Memorial Trust Gallery

Join us for a fascinating exhibition showcasing the contrasting yet complementary work of two talented artists:

An Abstract in Time and Space by Jeannie Payne
Waves and Wildflowers by Sophie Purvis

Jeannie's work explores shape, line, colour and architectural forms through symmetry, movement and impossible geometric structures, creating intriguing abstract compositions.

Sophie's collection of ceramics, watercolours and paintings draws inspiration from meadows, wildflowers and the sea. Her work combines bold abstract pieces with delicate natural studies in an exploration of colour, movement and material.

📅 17 June – 8 July
Open Tuesday – Sunday, 12pm – 5pm
Willoughby Memorial Trust Gallery
Moreley's Lane, Corby Glen, NG33 4NL

Come and discover two distinctive artistic visions brought together in one inspiring exhibition. We look forward to welcoming you.
