Inspired By...Gallery in Danby

The "Inspired by" Gallery at the North York Moors National Park Centre in Danby has an exciting new exhibit of photography, water colour painting, and ceremics on show in late April and Early May 2013.

Running from 27th April to 13th May 2013, the new exhibition of works includes landscape photography by Ian Burton; water colours by Les Packham and David Allen; and ceremics by Claude Frere-Smith.

Most of Ian Burton's landscape photographs centre on Roseberry Topping; the freedom and tranquillity as well as observing the wildlife and appreciating the local history and heritage.

Watercolourist Les Packham is one of Yorkshire’s best-known watercolourists.

He was originally inspired by the early English and Victorian watercolourists and, to him, it’s the ultimate medium – quintessentially English, and by far the most difficult to master.

Les has exhibited in Yorkshire, London and the USA.

David Allen has been painting professionally since 1990, specialising in landscapes and seascapes.

He first painted in oils as a teenager, but over twenty years ago was given a set of fifty pastels and has used the medium since for most of his work.

Although larger works are done in the studio, around half of his paintings are executed outside, in situ, using a palette of some six hundred pastels carried on a lightweight wooden easel.

His awards include Professional Artist of the Year Award, Society of All Artists (2011) and the Conway Maritime Sail Award, Royal Society of Marine Artists (2006).

Ceramic artist Claude Frere-Smith has been making pots for 40 years.

He combines his pottery work with teaching, and also with running a successful pottery group called the ‘Roseberry Potters’.
