Watercolours, moths and butterflies at Littlehampton Museum’ exhibition

Greta at her last exhibition in the museum in 2009

LITTLEHAMPTON Museum’s Community Gallery is exhibiting the work of local artist Greta Marriott alongside a collection of ‘rare and wonderful’ butterflies and moths.

Greta will be displaying a range of water colours at the museum, with proceeds from the exhibition going to Chestnut Tree House, in Poling.

Greta is a self-taught artist who finds inspiration in the countryside.

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.

Malcolm Belchamber, chairman of Littlehampton Town Council’s community resources committee, said: “With the proceeds going to such a worthwhile charity, this display really is a must see.”

The exhibition began on November 6 and is showing until December 23.
