A new exhibition of the work produced during her residency consists of a variety of landscape paintings inspired by the land owned by the National Trust.  There are small oil paintings of Mourier Valley and Devil's Hole, tree and quarry studies, as well as mixed media large scale work incorporating seedheads.  The artist, whose work deals with the relationship between humans and their habitat, continues her themes of Jersey landscape and in particular rock strata, seascapes and tree studies.

Virginia Colback, an art teacher who was the first student to gain an honours degree in art through Highlands College, was awarded the Rivington Scholarship in 2008 and the resulting study trip also influenced her work for the National Trust for Jersey residency.

The preview of the exhibition is on Thursday 3 June from 6-8 pm in the White Room and Pressoir at the National Trust for Jersey HQ, The Elms, St Mary.   Refreshments will be served.  The exhibition runs from Saturday 5 - 12 June from 10 am to 4 pm.  There is plenty of parking at The Elms.
