TOP model Jodie Kidd put in an appearance at Longbarn Village recently to celebrate the launch of the area's newest art gallery.
The starlet travelled from London for the opening of Love Contemporary Art, based in the renovated medieval barn at the Alcester Heath centre, to join guests for champagne and handmade chocolates while admiring the newly-compiled collection.
Katy Bailey unveiled her painting, joining a number of Midlands artists who included fused glass sculptor Eryka Isaak, Black Country graffiti artist Mac 1, painter Lesley Whelan and David Keenan, who has undertaken commissions for both Diana, Princess of Wales and the Queen.
Zak Miah and Lisa Edwards, creators of Love, said: "We're thrilled with the result; it's a case of the unexpected contradiction.
"There is nowhere else where you can view graffiti art alongside delicate glassware and bold sculpture in a 600-year-old timber framed barn surrounded by the beautiful Warwickshire countryside."
