Local artists' work goes on display at Burnham Community Centre

Colourful paintings and photos from a trio of local artists have gone on display at an exhibition in Burnham-On-Sea this week.

The work of Bev Lewis, Chris Abbott and Jane Smith (pictured) has been inspired by scenes in the Burnham area and is on display in Burnham Community Centre, Berrow Road, from Thursday (June 21st) until Saturday afternoon (June 23rd).

Bev is well known for her animal and pet portraits and has a passion for painting and drawing. She has won a number of awards for her coloured pencil drawings, and also uses water colours, pastels and acrylics. She has a wide range of subjects in the exhibition including local landscapes.

Jane has been inspired by the wonderful sunsets we see in Burnham and loves to paint big open skies. She began painting using watercolours and has an impressive collection including landscapes and floral art.

Chris has been a photographer for more than 25 years and has a keen eye for capturing different perspectives on familiar landmarks. He works with a digital camera and has recently won an award for one of his top photos.

There's no charge for entry into the exhibition to view the artwork. The paintings and photographs are available to buy as well as cards and prints.
