Her exhibition of watercolours features paintings of Sussex landscapes, to detailed studies of flowers and butterflies found in the local area.

Prices for Greta’s paintings start at £1, and are billed as offering something for all budgets.

Accompanying Greta’s work, the museum will also show some of its own butterfly collection, donated back in the 1930s.

It features some ‘rare and wonderful’ species of butterfly and moth.
