================================================================================

To mark the start of the fishing season, the three star 15th century hotel in
Teffont Evias, Salisbury is showcasing numerous artists work, thanks to Mark
Jerram the owner of the Jerram Gallery based at Half Moon Street, Sherborne,
Dorset which specialises in contemporary work; with a wide selection of
subjects ranging in artistic style from traditional to semi abstract.
The work on view at Howards House will be a combination of fishing pictures
and a range of other subjects too, by various artists including Nick Andrew who
paints around the River Wylye near his home, Mick Loates who has contributed to
numerous wildlife publications, Robin Armstrong who is a highly regarded
wildlife artist as well as an author on natural history (his Brown Trout is
attached and retails at £850) and Salisbury based artist Katherine Swinfern
Eady.
Owner of the Jerram Gallery Mark Jerram says: You dont have to fish to enjoy
our art and there are styles and subjects to appeal to everyone. We are
delighted to have a chance to bring a small selection of artists work to a
wider audience outside the gallery.
Howards House Hotel owner Noele Thompson added: With anglers gearing up for
the start of the fishing season this seemed timely and weve already had a
great reaction from guests and visitors who cant wait to see the work and to
have a chat with Mark Jerram.
The hotel, which was built in 1623, is set in two acres of glorious garden in
the quietness of the lovely Nadder valley and is the first choice for many
anglers who choose to enjoy a stay whilst pursuing their favourite hobby or
sport.
The work will be on display from 15th March 2008 and all pieces are for sale
with prices starting from £500 to £2,000.
