Tony Galuidi ‘The Great Trees of Yorkshire’.

12th of May to 24th June 2026

Tony Galuidi’s paintings represent his deep love of trees. Having painted trees for many years, it is only in the last three or four years that he has focused his attention on the ancient ones that have stood quietly for many hundreds of years, withstanding the ravages of time and of human interference.

Having searched the country, he has found some incredible trees in often unexpected places, including the car park at Castle Howard, as well as Fountains Abbey, Ripley Castle, and Middlesbrough.

“The process of painting, drawing, and etching trees has helped me gain a more intimate understanding of the trees I so dearly love.  My travels, in search of these giants and veterans, have taken me to some beautiful and often solitary locations, which serve only to increase my passion for forests and wild places. …….(trees) will always give us hope.”

Tony will donate all the money raised by this exhibition to Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary.

Four Seasons, Two Sisters

Four Seasons, Two Sisters is on show in our community cabinet. Eileen and Eva Soper created work that was inspired by their garden, which was both a wildlife habitat and a bird sanctuary. Part of it is still owned by the RSPB.

Come and see Eileen’s nature plates created while she was the principal illustrator for Enid Blyton. They were designed to teach children about natural world. Her sister Eva created a series of life size ceramic garden birds for Royal Worcester. Enjoy our collection of prints, postcards, ceramics and original artwork in this delightful little show that takes you through the seasons.
