Pollyanna Pickering Wildlife Art Exhibtion
Pollyanna Pickering Foundation – 25th Anniversary Exhibition
The 25th anniversary of the charitable Foundation established by the late Matlock wildlife artist Pollyanna Pickering is being celebrated in an exhibition to be staged in her private gallery at Brookvale House Oaker Matlock Derbyshire DE4 2JJ (AA Signposted) from 21st – 29th June (Admission Free).
Visitors will be able to view over fifty original paintings – many of which will be on display to the public for the very first time - in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
The Foundation is a small but effective non-profit organisation which campaigns internationally to prevent the exploitation of wildlife and raises funds to support animal welfare and conservation projects worldwide.
“It is a honour to continue Pollyanna’s legacy through the Foundation” Anna-Louise told us “Through the funds we raise at the exhibition, alongside our annual prize draws and the talks I give to societies all around the UK we are able to continue our work world-wide – in the past few years we have been helping to protect jaguars in Brazil, Snow Leopards in the Himalayas and Lions in Kenya.”
The gallery will also be welcoming a very special guest – ‘Longarm’ – a life sized sculpture of a brave and inspirational orang utan. created by the award winning wildlife sculptor Casey Nadine Banwell.
Two new limited edition prints will be launched at the exhibition. Also on display throughout will be Pollyanna's extensive ranges of books, greetings cards, fine art and limited edition prints, and a wide variety of gift ware featuring her work, including brand new card crafting kits as launched live on television! A sneak preview of next year’s charity Christmas cards will also be available. Pollyanna’s daughter Anna-Louise will be in the gallery throughout the exhibition and will be happy to chat to visitors about the artwork, and the inspiration found on their expeditions.
