Wildlife Art Exhibition : Pollyanna Pickering

The 25th anniversary of the charitable Foundation established by the late Matlock wildlife artist Pollyanna Pickering is being celebrated in an exhibition to be staged in her private gallery

About Wildlife Art Exhibition : Pollyanna Pickering

Visitors will be able to view over fifty original paintings – many of which will be on display to the public for the very first time - in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

The Foundation is a small but effective non-profit organisation which campaigns internationally to prevent the exploitation of wildlife and raises funds to support animal welfare and conservation projects worldwide.

The gallery will also be welcoming a very special guest – ‘Longarm’ – a life sized sculpture of a brave and inspirational orang utan. created by the award winning wildlife sculptor Casey Nadine Banwell.

Two new limited edition prints will be launched at the exhibition. Also on display throughout will be Pollyanna's extensive ranges of books, greetings cards, fine art and limited edition prints, and a wide variety of gift ware featuring her work, including brand new card crafting kits as launched live on television! A sneak preview of next year’s charity Christmas cards will also be available. Pollyanna’s daughter Anna-Louise will be in the gallery throughout the exhibition and will be happy to chat to visitors about the artwork, and the inspiration found on their expeditions.

Visitors to the gallery will have the opportunity to purchase prize draw tickets to win a unique hand embellished picture. Tea and Coffee will be available throughout, and visitors are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy in Pollyanna’s unique gardens – which include life size sculptures of gorillas, giraffes and elephants!
