Annabel Overbury’s pictorial exhibition ‘Color in nature’, at Casa Las Tejerinas

The opening of the exhibition will take place on Friday, May 10, at 6:00 p.m., with free access until full capacity is reached.

The Estepona Town Hall informs that Room 1 of the Casa de Las Tejerinas, located in the Plaza de las Flores, will host from next May 9 an exhibition of paintings by the British artist based in the town, Anabel Overbury, whose official opening will take place on Friday 10 at 18.00 hours.

The exhibition is entitled “The color in nature”, and consists of a total of 27 works, mostly made with the technique of watercolor on paper, and others in acrylic on board or canvas.

The exhibition will remain open to the public until May 22, and can be visited from Tuesday to Friday, from 09.00 to 20.00 hours, and Saturdays from 09.00 to 14.00 and from 16.00 to 20.00 hours, with free access.

Annabel Overbury was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, in 1955. She spent her childhood near the countryside, an experience that marked her artistic development. At school she found refuge in the art department, away from the hustle and bustle of a large and busy school, and was fortunate to have a very demanding but inspiring teacher, Ruth Howell, who encouraged her to take up art. This led her to Slade, where she studied from 1973 to 1977. Thanks to an intergovernmental cultural scholarship to further her artistic career she came to Spain.

The move to Spain, specifically Andalusia, broadened her horizons and her vision, both personally and artistically. The original plan was to spend nine months in Spain, but more than forty years later “I am still here because in one of these drawing classes I met my future husband, Emilio Sújar. Now we live with our daughter and son, Zhara and Emilio, in Estepona,” says the artist.
