Journeys Through Many Landscapes: Paintings by George Taylor RBSA
A vivid and colourful contemporary art show is the newest offering at Nuneaton Museum and Art Gallery. The bold watercolours collage and oil paintings are all the work of artist George Taylor RBSA.
George’s focus as an artist is directed towards capturing different emotions and the resulting works resemble landscapes. George’s work will provide a splash of colour in the White Gallery, and hopefully be an inspiration for other artists.
George Taylor’s show includes many pieces for sale. The exhibition will also feature interactives for children to create their own masterpieces.

Beaches and Boats: A Midlander’s Love of the British Coast by Hilary Morris
Do you enjoy the seaside? Can you remember a holiday filled with wonderful seascapes? Nuneaton-born artist Hilary Morris presents a watercolour exhibition displaying the beauty of the British Coast at Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery.
Living in Nuneaton all of her life, Hilary took up watercolour painting after retiring and became very studious in her self-taught practise as an Artist. Hilary hopes that her work will encourage other budding artists to ‘give it a go’.
Inspired by holidays on the British Coast, Hilary’s paintings offer an insight to her personal trip down memory lane which many of us will share with her from our own seaside holidays.
This exhibition will charm all of the family as well as other artists. Hilary Morris displays her work on the Landing Gallery, selling her paintings between £25 - £65.
