Janine Baldwin is returning to the Birch Tree Gallery for her second exhibition (this time with Edinburgh-based ceramicist Lorna Fraser). To kick off the exhibition 'Layered Land', Janine will talk about her inspiration, materials, landscapes and will demonstrate some of her mark-making techniques.

Janine Baldwin, a member of the Pastel Society, lives and works on the North Yorkshire coast - this location is a constant source of inspiration to her artwork. Janine fell in love with pastels - their immediacy of colour allows spontaneity of mark-making, and this is important to her, as she seeks to capture movement in her drawings. Janine prefers her work to be an organic process and not force which path it takes.

You can see works to be exhibited in 'Layered Land' here.

The seated talk will be followed by the Exhibition Opening reception.
