New Exhibition...Finding Colour by Karen Hughes

Karen's art works are a moving exploration of healing, hope and personal transformation. Through bold colours, textures and recurring butterfly motifs, her work tells a story of finding strength, embracing change and rediscovering yourself.

It was fantastic to see so many people come along to celebrate Karen's work and hear the stories behind the paintings.

The exhibition is on display in The Granary until 26 September
