Dorothy Pestell's artwork will be displayed as part of this years Art Trail in The Eastgate Hub (just outside of Starbucks and Debenhams in the Eastgate Shopping Centre).
Dorothy was born in 1938 and took up painting as a "recycled teenager" in her retirement years. Dorothy Explains "I thought I would try my hand at art in my retirement years, and enjoy showing my works that display how I wield a paint brush in and out of the most fantastic colours, tickle a pencil, move an oil pastel and create sculpture using mod roc. I have been delighted to display my works in the BEA gallery and pleased with the supportive comments viewers have offered. I encourage all to visit the space. Like life, the art in the gallery is full surprises!
My work is inspired by the people I meet and all the wonderful things that I am proud to have and share on this earth today. My life in the art world has been touched by people like Dean Smith, Cheryl, Paul, Rob, Vin, Graham and Jim. Not to mention all my co-artists in the gallery".
You can view Dorothy's work in Gallery 2 from the 2nd October and the Eastgate Hub from the 5th October 2012.
