No 6 Studio Gallery, King Street Workshops, Pateley Bridge, will host a special exhibition and sale of work of the acclaimed artist Heather Foster who lived and worked in Harrogate for many years. Heather passed away in April 2022, and her family have organised the exhibition to take place over the May Bank holiday. The family say that they “would like to ensure that her much loved works will find a home on walls where they will be appreciated for generations to come”.
Heather trained at Camberwell School of Art in the 1950s, and taught for many years at Harrogate Art School and Harrogate College of Arts and Technology. She exhibited nationally, at London galleries including The Mall Gallery, Bankside Gallery and the Royal Academy, as well as showing locally at galleries including The Mercer, Harrogate. She sought her inspiration from nature, often depicting landscapes and the natural world. Her main mediums were drawing and printmaking, in particular etchings and in more recent years iPad prints.
The exhibition will take place at No 6 Studio Gallery, King Street Workshops, Pateley Bridge HG3 5LE
Dates: Sunday 28 May, 1000 – 1700 (viewing and sales) and Monday 29 May, 1000 – 1400 (viewing) with an auction of remaining works at 1430. All proceeds from sales will go to an arts charity.
