One of the most colourful and vibrant artists working on the island at the moment will open her latest exhibition in the south next week.

Karolina Powlowska will open her display at the Sir James Mellon gallery at the Erin Arts Centre on Wednesday, September 9.

The painter is well-known for her bright and vivid abstract portraits and recently unveiled a stunning mural, painted on the side of Port St Mary Town Hall.

The exhibition, which is free to view, will run until Friday October 9, and is open from 10 to 4.30pm Monday to Friday and during events.
