Number 6 Gallery at Pateley Bridge will host a special exhibition and sale of the work of acclaimed artist Heather Foster who lived and worked in Harrogate for many years.

Mrs Foster recently passed away in April 2022, and her family have organised the exhibition to take place over the May Bank holiday.

The family has said: “We would like to ensure that her much loved works will find a home on walls where they will be appreciated for generations to come.”

Mrs Foster's work found inspiration in the landscapes of North Yorkshire, and the exhibition is set to be of great interest to art collectors.
