AN EXHIBITION in Barnard Castle is showcasing the talents of several artists from the region.

Lee Hutchinson, of Darlington, has brought together three other artists for the show at the Witham Hall. It began yesterday and runs until October 1.

Mr Hutchinson, who describes his style as “expressive and vibrant”, said it was his aim to bring high quality art to the masses.

He added: “Most people are interested in art, but what I’m doing is getting it out there, making it accessible and at affordable prices.

“Art can change your moods and feelings just by having a picture on the wall.”

Also on display will be works from Susan Jefferson and Steve Lunn, both of Darlington, and Mike Fong, of York.

Doors will open from 10am each day, and entry is free.
