Hadleigh Art Trail 2013 is delighted to welcome BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year, Marie Antoniou.

Marie recently picked up the prestigious award for her painting 'Pigeon Frenzy' in the British Birds category and was also highly commended in the same category for a second painting titled 'Woodbridge Swans'.

Marie says "I am always drawn to nature and often use it as a source of inspiration within my paintings".

"It was hard to keep the award under wraps until the winners were announced at the end of August and it was really lovely to be presented with the award at the Marwell International Wildlife Art Society."

Marie's award-winning painting will be on display in the All Trail Exhibition to be held at Hadleigh Old Fire Station - open daily throughout the Trail (opening times vary, see our Trail Guide).

Hadleigh-based artist Marie is also running a free Kid's Workshop at Hadleigh Old Fire Station on Saturday 12 October from 12 noon 'til 4 pm. Create your own masterpiece at this drop-in workshop!

Congratulations to Marie!
