AN artist from North Tawton will exhibit her work in Okehampton for the next six weeks as part of an ongoing effort to promote the art of local artists.

Ann Simpson is exhibiting a series of her work, a mixture of botanical illustration and contemporary art, at the Country Lanes Garden Centre in Okehampton until Sunday, November 4.

The centre promotes local artists by giving them a six-week slot in the cafe to display their work. Ann has exhibited her work at the Herbert Art Gallery in Coventry, and has taken a number of private commissions in the past. She works at a studio in her home in North Tawton, and has already sold one of her pictures to a neighbour.

Everyone is welcome to visit the centre and view Ann's work.
