Taking place during February and March this year at St Mary’s Hospital is a new exhibition of pastel artworks by Island artist, Angela Plumley.
In the full circle exhibition space, you’ll find the exhibition which has been arranged by Healing Arts.
Anglea, who has worked at St Mary’s for the last six years is very kindly donating 25% of any sale to Laidlaw, one of the outpatient units.
Angela was born on the Isle of Wight and can trace her family back on the Island to the 1680’s.
She attended Ryde schools as a child and gained ‘A’ level art at 16 and was lucky enough to be selected as one of three Islanders to attend Portsmouth College of Art on Saturdays whilst still at School.
Angela comments:
“I didn’t follow arts as a career but recently my family have encouraged me to start painting again. I discovered pastels as a medium and love their vibrant colours and ease of blending. I get my ideas from gardening and nature. I also paint still life, landscapes and portraits.”
This exhibition has been arranged by Healing Arts.
Guy Eades, Director of Healing Arts at NHS Isle of Wight says:
“We’re very pleased to welcome Angela’s paintings to St. Mary’s. Art is an important part of the healing environment and philosophy at St. Mary’s. We are keen to encourage those with talent, whether they are staff at the hospital or Islanders, to exhibit their work at St. Mary’s.”
