Ludlow Assembly rooms will be welcoming two talented artists this year, who are taking part in the annual acclaimed Herefordshire Art Week.

The exhibition will feature the “dynamic works” of artists, Susan Birth and Cherrie Mansfield. Their unique visual creations are expected to transform the venue and inspire their audience.

Herefordshire Art Week is a vibrant, annual event that looks to honour the diverse artistic and visual talent that the county has to offer. The events provide local artists with an opportunity to show case their work in several venues which include, galleries, studios, and historic buildings.

Ludlow Assembly Rooms was chosen to join the acclaimed list this year, which will offer visitors an inspiring new venue throughout the nine days of events to take in the breath-taking creativity.

Susan Birth’s artwork offers a “captivating blend” of paint, ink, and collage, with her passion for creativity being fostered by an “intense curiosity about the world” which she transforms into eye-catching visuals.

Susan's distinctive visuals compel viewers to reflect on their emotions whilst being drawn into her feature landscapes, still subjects, and abstract pieces.

“I’m very excited to be exhibiting at Ludlow Assembly Rooms as well as having the opportunity to take part in the Herefordshire Art Week," she said.

"We’re really looking forward to taking our art to lovely Ludlow!”

Cherrie Mansfield’s art is described as a “celebration of colour and texture”. Her abstract expressionist works are formed from a selection of unique tools, including painting knives and kitchen utensils. Cherrie’s art is influenced by geological formations and the stunning, historic scenery of West Cornwall.

Cherrie designs her pieces to “provoke a reaction” from her audience, and to capture their imagination.

"Colour excites me, grabs my attention, and fuels my creativity," she explained.

"I want to create paintings that provoke a reaction, arouse curiosity, and cause the viewer to pause to take a closer look," she added.

The event will run from September 7 to 15, and entry will be free for all of the public.
