WALLASEY based abstract floral artist Leanne Hughes (BA Hons) will be showcasing a selection of her 1 off acrylic masterpieces at the Victoria Road gallery from:- Friday, 20 October 2023, until Sunday, 29 October 2023. The much celebrated local creative ; whose work has been sought after by avid collectors globally and in some cases selling for thousands; is displaying her work in New Brighton for the 1st time this month. The exhibition will feature a range of various sizes of 1 off canvas paintings; lovingly created for her local community.

The exhibition begins with a VIP Launch Night at:- Oakland Gallery, from:- 7pm, on:- Friday, 20 October 2023; featuring:- a talk from Leanne about the meanings behind her work on display, a Q&A, live acoustic music, nibbles and Prosecco provided by The Good Hood.

Tickets to the VIP Launch Event are free, and attendees will have 1st refusal on Leanne's wonderful work for sale as well as receiving a goody bag.

Since graduating with a BA Hons degree in Fine Art in 2015, Leanne's work has wowed art collectors around the world and she has developed a reputation as an incredible talent in the field of flower and nature art; with explosions of colour that jump off the canvas. The New Brighton exhibition will not only feature her finest work, but also a selection of prints and calendars available from as little as £10.

Leanne said:- "After selling mostly online and also a select few exhibitions further afield, it feels great to be finally exhibiting my work in my hometown. I have been working on this special collection for some time now as I want to gift my local community with some of my greatest work, whilst also offering it to people for a very affordable price. I must say a big thank you to Dan Davies from Rockpoint Leisure for offering me the Oakland Gallery space and supporting my work; thanks to his generosity I am able to offer my work for a great price. That said, even if people just want to come and have a browse and a chat about art everyone is welcome; the main aim of my colourful floral art is to make people feel happy."

The exhibition intends to take people back to long summer days and memories of wild flower meadows as the colder, darker months creep in, whilst also coming at a perfect time for Christmas gifts. Leanne's work has been cherished by discerning art lovers as far and wide as Japan and Canada; but now local enthusiasts have the opportunity to experience her beautiful work in a unique New Brighton showcase.

Leanne summarised:- "I absolutely adore flowers and the aim of my work is to remind people of the beauty of nature and where we come from. We're living in a concrete world where we have become grey and detached, so through my art I intend to remind people of the magic of flowers and the great outdoors; hopefully reconnecting them with nature in the process."

The Wallasey based abstract floral artist, whose work has sold internationally, will be showcasing a selection of her 1 off acrylic masterpieces; available to browse or purchase from the Victoria Road gallery.
