AN exhibition of artwork by Gargrave couple John and Margaret Merrell will be held in the village hall next Saturday, May 30.
Margaret died in 2010 and John in 2013 and the family have quite a collection of their artwork. The exhibition will be an opportunity to see and purchase some of the work they created over the years.
The couple retired to Gargrave where they lived for about 30 years. John had been a GP in Skipton and Margaret was a botanist and they were married for more than 60 years.
Both Margaret and John joined classes in drawing and painting and they showed their work in local exhibitions. Their interest in travel, walking and plants were reflected in their artwork. Margaret also gained inspiration from their garden and John from his long distance walks.
The exhibition will be open from 10am to 4pm and refreshments will be served throughout the day. All proceeds from the artwork will be donated to charity.
