Winter Wildlife Exhibition

I'm very busy finishing off paintings for my winter exhibition which runs from November 3^rd-18^that my gallery at Thixendale. There's a lot to do.
I'll be opening my studio so that visitors can see the wildlife photographs I take during fact-finding missions all over the world - so I need to get it looking tidy.
I'll also be releasing some new limited-edition prints so I need to make sure there is plenty in stock for customers who want to buy Christmas presents. I've been working on a new series of sketches of otters to celebrate the amazing news that this shy creature has survived almost certain extinction.
And on top of all the paintings and prints, there will be riverside walks to look for otters as well an evening talk on how otters were rescued in Yorkshire.This is in addition to the exciting new owl safaris, birdwatching, falconry and bushcraft workshops taking place.
I've listed the events below. If you want to book please click on the headings.
