A NEW exhibition at Shephers Ice Cream Parlour in Hay-on-Wye features the work of local artist, Clarissa Kate Price.

Clarissa, who studied Fine Art and English Literature at The University of Wales Aberystwyth, drew only for her own pleasure after graduating, until she enrolled on a life drawing course in 2011, going on to exhibit work in h.Art last year.

The success of h.Art, she explains, gave her the confidence to put on this,her first solo exhibition, which features some of her favourite themes, Hay Castle captured in a variety of mediums, hares and vibrant watercolours of peppers.

The exhibition runs at Shepherds Ice Cream Parlour until October 16.
