AN exhibition of the work by an acclaimed lecturer and artist has gone on show at her former university.

Margaret Shaw, a former lecturer in fine art at King's College, Durham, died in 1982, at the age of 62.

She studied with well-known English painters Paul and John Nash, in London, and was a member of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours.

Following her stint in Durham, she also became a senior lecturer at Sheffield College of Art and Design.

A selection of her work is on show at Grey College, in Durham, running at the South Road campus until Sunday, March 19.

It can be viewed by appointment, and anyone interested should contact Joyce Dover, on 0191-334 5565.

Organiser Henry Dyson, a fellow of Grey College, said although it has staged many exhibitions over the years, the Margaret Shaw display was "something special".

It can be viewed by appointment, and anyone interested should contact Joyce Dover, on 0191-334 5565.
