A double treat is in store for visitors to Castle Espie Wetland Centre’s Graffan Gallery from Saturday 18th September to Sunday 3rd October, when botanical artist Yanny Petters and bronze sculptor Annette Hennessy bring their joint show and sale to the County Down bird sanctuary.
‘Tree Man Saw Sedge’ is an exhibition of paintings and bronzes inspired by a sense of the natural forces in the environment. Wicklow-based painter, Yanny Petters draws on the rich habitats of fields and wetlands in her detailed studies of wild plants, while Annette Hennessy’s bronze sculptures are small-scale, figurative, one-off pieces that reflect man’s relationship with nature.
Complementing Annette’s three-dimensional statements of habitat, Yanny’s watercolours, oils and ‘painting on glass’, fittingly sourced from grasslands and wetlands, include a number of works inspired by the environment around Castle Espie Wetland Centre.
During the exhibition at Castle Espie, Yanny will offer a demonstration and a workshop in drawing and painting inspired by the plants in the reserve.
