A FREELANCE artist from Thirsk is the latest to have her work displayed at Northallerton’s Civic Centre.
Katrina Addison graduated in fine art in 2001at De Montfort University in Leicester and has worked in various schools around Yorkshire and the North-East as a specialist tutor.
She also spent a number of years at Thirsk Children’s Centre providing art sessions for parents and pre-school children and ran “art attack” activities at Thirsk Leisure Centre.
In addition she runs her own Saturday art clubs at Carlton Miniott and Rural Arts in Thirsk.
A mother-of-two with another one on the way, she likes to work with mixed media and has recently developed her own drawing styles as a greeting card designer.
“The quality of the pieces is outstanding,” said Hambleton’s arts development officer Kate Staines.
“She chooses subjects that interest and inspire her, from landscapes to portraits to animals, and also makes abstract pictures using geometric shapes and swirls.
“We are always delighted when a local artist asks to display their work here as it gives them a chance to exhibit to a much wider audience.
“It will brighten up all visits to the civic centre – but everyone is welcome to drop in to have a look during office hours.”
