Four West Dorset artists will be showcasing their work at a new exhibition in Lyme Regis throughout November. 

'Embracing the Elements' at the Malthouse Gallery in the Town Mill will explore how the weather has an impact on people and the landscape of west Dorset.

The exciting and inspirational two-week exhibition showcases the culmination of each artists recent creative journeys, reflecting how they uniquely engages with and are inspired by their surroundings in the region.

Jillian Hunt creates abstract photography that evolves into innovative textiles and unique interior decor.

Alison Bowskill explores a variety of printmaking processes and techniques including Etching, Lithography and Lino. Her prints are an emotive response to locations and environments which capture the drama, life and mood of these places.

Fran Williams creates magical and handcrafted wooden automata, music boxes and sculpture. Her pieces are made in part from found materials, made to move, make you smile and tell a story.

Jools Woodhouse has recently incorporated hand painted and printed collage paper into her paintings adding depth and texture to her distinctive depictions of semi-abstract local landscapes.

Alison Bowskill said: “As artists, we spend time reflecting on our environment and responding to the rhythms of life and landscape. Coming together to celebrate the diverse ways we interact with these elements is both fulfilling and enlightening.” 

The exhibit opens on November 5 and runs until November 17 and is open daily from 10am until 5pm.
