A new art exhibition is inviting visitors to slow down and reflect through a series of abstract landscapes.
The Stillness of Becoming, by award-winning artist Louise Bougourd, is on display at Fisherton Mill from Saturday, September 5, to Monday, September 28.
Ms Bougourd, a British landscape painter with more than 30 years of experience, is based near Dartmoor and takes much of her inspiration from the landscapes of the South West.
Her latest collection features abstracted landscapes in mixed media and oils, designed to evoke calm and reflection.

Ms Bougourd said: "Time changes much in our lives, remaining still is often very hard to do for any length of time.
"The paintings in this collection represent ‘Stillness’ where life has encouraged, even forced me to remain still, to breathe gently, to observe my surroundings – to just be present in the moment.
"In these moments I have discovered that I have more to say in my art, more emotion to reveal through brush marks and use of blank surface within a painting."
Her work has been exhibited at the Mall Galleries in London, the Chelsea Art Society, the Society of Women Artists, and the Royal Institution.
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artist and discuss her work at Fisherton Mill on Saturday, September 5, and Monday, September 28, between 11am and 3pm.
