A WYCHBOLD swan sanctuary has inspired a new exhibition by a professional county artist.

The Bevere Vivis Gallery in Worcester is now showing the Passion for Swans exhibition by talented artist Valerie Briggs.

She has taken her inspiration from the Wychbold Swan Rescue Centre, a voluntary organisation run by Jan Harrigan and a few dedicated helpers, to create impressions of the beautiful white bird in watercolours and pastels

The Worcester city centre exhibition runs from now until October 26.

The gallery is open from 10.30am to 5pm Tuesday to Saturday and admission is free.
