Painters Peter Hicks, Len Tabner and William Tillyer, glass artists Stephen Gillies and Kate Jones, and photographer Joe Cornish are widely respected contemporary artists, both nationally and internationally, with their work distributed throughout both private and public collections. This exhibition reveals their shared passion for the North York Moors landscape where they live, and which has inspired the stunning and diverse collection of work on show at the Inspired by . . . Gallery in Danby.

In fact, artists have long been attracted to this region of contrasts, inspired by its wild moorlands and secret secluded dales, big open skies and majestic coastline.  These, combined with the beguiling effects of light over this ancient landscape and restless sea, have spurred artists on to create extraordinary work.

The Inspired By . . . Gallery features exhibitions throughout the year. Currently they are running Moods of North Yorkshire (till 25 April), with a mix of sculpture and paintings by Ian Nicholas, Tony Cox, Pam Scott and Margaret Smith across a range of styles and media.

Also coming soon will be Light on the Land – inspirational images by the photographer Phil Cornelius which explore the effects of the ever-changing light conditions throughout the different seasons and how it affects our view of the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Coast.
