ABSTRACT ART: This piece by contemporary artist Debra Stroud is one of those on show at Picturehouse in Poundbury for the next two weeks

AN ABSTRACT Affair by contemporary artist Debra Stroud will be exhibited at Westover Gallery at Picturehouse on Paceycombe Way in Poundbury for the next two weeks.

The mix of tones and texture provided by the hand-embellished detail in Stroud's vibrant limited edition prints combines to produce stunning pieces that demand attention.

Love of the sea is the inspiration behind Debra's work. She said: "From my earliest childhood the sea, with its continually changing moods, has always been the greatest source of inspiration for me. There is a great sense of calm and tranquillity, the sound of the waves crashing, that distinctive smell and the wind on your face: in fact, the whole three-dimensional experience.

"I can never tire of it and it still evokes the same excitement now as it did when I was a child running over the pebbles and sharp shells to be first to get to the sea. It is so evocative that it drives me to try to recreate it in my paintings."
