Norfolk: When is Earsham Mill hosting an art exhibition?

Merlina Arts gallery at Earsham Mill, near Bungay, will host Hands, Hooves and Horizons featuring the work of artists Jean Kiekopf, Nicola Eastell and Sue Willmer.

The exhibition will feature a selection of contemporary paintings and sculptures at the gallery in Earsham.

Equestrian artist Ms Eastell, who is based in Topcroft, said: “The exhibition is going to be very striking, we are all very different and we will all be bringing something distinct to the show.

“This is my first exhibition for a while and I’m really excited.

"I will be exhibiting large-scale pastel studies of Lusitano horses and a selection of landscapes in oil.

“The equine pieces are really commanding when you see them but when you get up close, they are very intimate.

“Sue has exhibited widely and is very adaptable, she is as happy painting abstract art as she is with more traditional work.

“Jean will be exhibiting her unique sculptures from small pieces through to large garden pieces, they’ve got a beautiful flow to them.”
