Awakening

Here is a preview of one of my original images that will be included in the exhibition 'Awakening' from Friday 3rd February - April 2012.





Awakening is a group exhibition featuring artists inspired by the enchantment of spring, tantalising our senses with an array of colours that capture the beauty of the season.

The Exhibition will be held at Gallery Forty-Nine, Bridlington where my work can be viewed alongside other featured artists such as Elaine Turnbull, Meg Burkill, George Hainsworth, Dora Holzhanbler and Giuliana Lazzerini.

Winter Wonderland

Through the Wardrobe | By Leanne Broadbent

Here is one of my latest images which I thought was very appropriate for this festive season. It is based on the classic tale by C.S. Lewis 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe'. The scene is set when the children emerge from the wardrobe and into Narnia!

 

I would also just like to add that I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2012!

East Coast Open

I am pleased to announce that both of my art works have been selected for the East Coast Open Exhibition at Scarborough Art Gallery.

Showing at Back O' the Shop Gallery

Lucy Explores Snow | Leanne Broadbent | 2011

From Sunday 6th November this new art work amongst others will be exhibited in 'Selection Box 2011' at the Back o' the Shop Gallery (Terrington).

It was inspired by C. S. Lewis's fantasy fiction 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' one of my all-time favourite children's books and is a scene when Lucy first steps outside of the wardrobe into the land of Narnia and finds trees and snow where there should only be the back of  the wardrobe!

Other pieces in this exhibition are also inspired by this story including 'Edmund' and 'Lucy's Invitation to Tea'.

Meanwhile if you cannot make it to see this exhibition a selection of my art works will also be on display from November at Gallery Forty-Nine (Bridlington) included in an affordable art section in time for Christmas purchases!
