The Cambridge Drawing Society’s Spring Exhibition opens at the end of this month, with more than 350 new works from over 100 artists on display.
Among them are Monica Alikoviene, a Cambridge-based artist who created a new work, Easy Like Sunday Morning, specifically for the exhibition (see this article about trumpet player Imogen Whitehead). There’s also Diane Firth, who specialises in oil paintings and drawings of people, pets and animals, capturing their unique personalities. Pictured is a painting of border collie Gem, entitled The Look of Love. “She was a rare dog, as she would just gaze into your eyes like this and you, of course, would gaze back. She was great at connecting,” says Diane.
The Spring Exhibition takes place from 10am to 4pm, every day from 31 May to 7 June at The Pitt Building on Trumpington Street. Admission is free for all visitors
