ART EXHIBITION at Brixham Adult & Community Learning Centre  

A Care Worker who paints in acrylics in her spare time has staged her second exhibition in Brixham. Chrissy Elsworth trained as an art teacher and now specialises in print and mixed media. Her current exhibition is full of bright canvases illustrating the joys of nature through meadows, sea and nightscapes.

Chrissy uses glitter paint and found items such as sweet papers to bring the picture to life. Her work is greatly admired with pieces selling as soon as the show opened.

She has also included three male nude torsos painted in vibrant pinks and red tones.

Her greatest fans are the ‘ACE' students who she cares for each week at the Thursday Group. They found her work ‘stunning' and ‘admirable'. Chair of ACE, Chris Wardley said, “Chrissy keeps her talent a real secret. We knew she was artistic because she is such a help in our practical classes, but we didn't realise she was a professional artist who produces such outstanding work. It has been a real treat to be able to enjoy this show. The flower meadows are brilliant and nightscapes draw you in, especially when viewed from a distance.”

Chrissy's work is on show until the end of term (July 21st ) with access when the centre is open, 9.30am to 3pm, Monday to Friday and 6.30-8.30pm, Monday to Thursday.
