Spice of Life
Dixie Appleton-Whal
Fri 4 July - Sun 3 August
Dixie Appleton-Wahl is a colourful and exciting North Devon artist. Her varied exhibition, "Spice of Life", diverse in media and subject matter, is united by the artist’s love of colour, form and texture. Her paintings spring from such inspirations as living and travelling in Mexico, Guatemala and Africa, dancing, and daily walks on the pebble ridge at Westward Ho! Her "unstill lifes" represent emotions and relationships and the often curious interactions of daily life.
