Nature Inspired Art – Venetia Norris

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

We have just come back from the new exhibition by up and coming artist Venetia Norris. We love her pen and ink drawings which are inspired by flora and fauna so quite apt for the balcony gardener. 

Her exhibition: Ink Drawings Inspired by Nature, is currently on show at Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, London between 19th October – 8th November. Its open every day and free.

Go and be cultural this weekend and take a look – well worth the visit!
