The Isle Gallery were delighted to formally open their latest in a line of exciting summer exhibitions last Sunday. 'Waves' the inaugural solo of popular Manx based seascape artist Jacqueline Dawson, certainly inspired many and was very well received by all who attended.

Jacqueline's work is an expression of her artistic relationship with the sea.

Stunning panoramas juxtapose wild, colourful oceanic scenes in a hypnotic celebration of meditative and powerful imagery.

ArtReach Studios, the team behind the operation of the Isle Gallery said they were were 'delighted to introduce Jacqueline's first and long awaited solo exhibition. Jacqueline's work is very popular and evokes a strong emotional connection within the viewer. We are also very grateful to Martin Corkish of Investasure Financial Services Ltd for his kind support.'

Martin, an island based St. James's Place Wealth Management representative and generous sponsor of 'Waves', said "it's a pleasure to support Jacqueline and of course I love to see people's reaction when engaging with her work. If you haven't yet had a look, you really must. It's absolutely stunning!"

Martin is also running a prize draw in conjunction with ArtReach Studios and throughout the period of the exhibition. The lucky winner will receive an original piece of artwork. For more information on how to enter, please drop into the gallery during opening times.

Exhibition runs until Sunday August 9th. The Isle Gallery opening hours are as follows: Wednesday - Saturday 1-5pm and Sunday 2-5pm.
