Highly respected local artist Tess Dawson is holding an Open Gallery in Stuart House,

21st July to 2nd August.

Her website says:
‘Tess Dawson is a fine artist, who creates portraits in watercolour or pencil, that convey an emotional connection that’s captured through her unique, realistic style for those who want an endearing and soulful heirloom to treasure for years to come. She does this through her use of colour, depth and texture especially focusing on the eyes, which have been said to be “the windows to the soul.” She depicts not only the likeness but also the essence of who she is creating the portrait of.’
