A new Flower Power exhibition at the Seaglass Gallery in Lympstone hopes to raise money for Hospiscare.

This is a collaboration of the Seaglass Gallery in Lympstone and award-winning, west- country artists, including Tom Stevenson, Louise Banks and Julie Dunster.

The ‘Flower Power’ exhibition will run 11-4 daily from Friday 7th June until Sunday 16th June. The Preview is from 6-8 on Wednesday 5th June.

It celebrates the 'timeless beauty' of flower paintings from traditional to contemporary and realistic to abstract.

Ceramic flower vessels from tiny bud vases to larger statement pieces, all unique and created from accomplished Devon potters including Helen McCormick, Tina Hill-Art and Debbie Stewart, will delight in their beauty.

Bespoke floral- themed silver jewellery will also be on display as part of the exhibition.

Charlotte and Bruce, Seaglass Gallery’s owners, who will be curating the exhibition, said: "Flowers have long been used to signify and communicate love and friendship, to console and to celebrate milestones during life’s journey. This talented collective of artists and makers have captured the importance of flowers. Roses, wildflowers, memories of childhood garden games and the beckoning of sunlit spaces encourage you to pause a while. From petals unfurling to summer shadows caught on canvas, the exhibition will have something to delight everyone. Art is good for the soul, and we believe art exhibitions should be for everyone, so entry is free and all are welcome in our calm and creative space."

Hesta Singlewood said: "Marking the seasons by painting flowers, I embrace the healing effects of nature in my work. My little garden and allotment are the places I paint, plant and restore myself. Each whimsical painting comes from the heart and has its own story.’

"Our art exhibition will run at the same time as the Lympstone Garden Festival which will give people the opportunity to step into some of Lympstone’s secret gardens, both large and small including Lympstone Manor which will be inviting visitors to explore their garden sculpture trail. The festival will be raising money for Exmouth and Lympstone Hospisecare and in Seaglass Gallery we will be selling greetings cards and small posies to raise money for this important charity. Make a day of it viewing art, gardens and the beautiful Exe estuary."
