YORKSHIRE painter Debbie George will exhibit at Kentmere House Gallery, in York, until June.

Holmfirth-based Debbie ran one of Yorkshire's finest small galleries for many years, but found she did not have time for her own painting.

Recently, she has been able to concentrate on her art full time and has produced a body of work including delicate watercolours which are being recognised internationally.

Her work is a celebration of her passion for flowers and other objects, such as ceramics, fruits, feathers and stones.

She often assembles flowers or objects within the foreground of a painting and sets them against a far landscape.

Her work is also influenced by the landscape and surroundings of her home in the hills of West Yorkshire, the beaches in Norfolk and Scotland and her travels to Tuscany, the Loire and the Maltese island of Gozo.

The gallery is open on the weekends of May 5 and 6, June 2 and 3, between 11am and 5pm. It is open every Thursday between 6pm and 9pm and can be viewed at any other time by arrangement. The paintings are on sale at prices ranging from £250 to £750.
