Fisherton Mill has welcomed four talented Dorset-based artists to the Mill for a vibrant exhibition of paintings and sculpture inspired by the beauty and organic forms of the natural world.

Caroline Tucker specializes in vibrant and quirky acrylic and watercolour artworks inspired by a love of the countryside and beautiful coastline where she lives. Katie Bourne Davies applies her expertise in composition and visual storytelling to create atmospheric pieces, characterised by vibrant colour and expressive, contemporary mark-making.

Sarah Jayne Jefferies specialises in acrylics, but also loves working with ink, wax, pastel, charcoal and varied illustrative pens, producing varied contemporary mixed-media landscapes and botanical studies. And David Cutler creates distinctive works predominantly in metal and wood with a commitment to quality, creativity, and the enduring beauty of nature, he produces striking, handcrafted creations that transform steel and wood into timeless works of art.

Seen in the Trees – Tansy Lee Moir

Arundells, 59 Cathedral Close, Salisbury
Until October 26

Seen in the Trees exhibition at Arundells features charcoal drawings by Tansy Lee Moir

Tansy Lee Moir’s work is inspired by trees and how their history shapes them: to her, old trees are time-made wood.

Creating powerful and evocative drawings, paintings and monoprints using charcoal and natural pigments, she forages for images in wooded locations around Scotland and her native Peak District, capturing the essence and energy of trees in charcoal drawings.
