TURNSTONE Gallery at Sandsend is making the most of its coastal location with its latest exhibition, Drawn to the Sea.

Two artists, Heather Davies and Steve Tomlinson, explore this theme in depth and newcomer to the gallery, Thalia Tomlinson, is showing jewellery.

The work by Davies hovers between figuration and a world formed from within the media, an area fertile with limitless possibilities. Her strength in drawing enables her to understand and control her materials, shaping them to carry her ideas.

Steve Tomlinson's work expresses one aspect of people's relationship with the sea – the tendency to stand and stare out to the horizon. He is concerned with capturing the many moods of a seascape, but also uses the imagery as a reflection of inner feelings and states of mind.

Thalia Tomlinson is inspired by natural materials and found objects. Her connection to the sea shows in her response to natural colours. She uses semi-precious beads from around the world as well as glass, pearls, buttons, felt and vintage beads.

The exhibition runs until Sunday, November 2. The gallery is open from Thursday to Monday, 11am-5pm, closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. For more details, visit turnstonegallery.net or call 01947 893289. Admission is free.
