Shropshire artist pins hope on BBC TV show

An artist from Shropshire will be hoping her work impresses judges after entering it in a BBC series.

Jenny Gunning from Ironbridge Fine Arts and Framing at the Merrythought Village, has submitted her print of the Iron Bridge into Show Me the Monet.

If chosen by the judges, the limited edition etching will then feature in an exhibition in central London and Jenny will appear on the television programme on BBC Two.

Programme-makers had invited artists from across the nation to submit their art. The 'hanging committee' was searching for great art from both amateurs and professionals alike.

Anyone could enter as long as the artwork was personal. It could be a painting, a sculpture, a photograph, a drawing or a ceramic.

A spokesman said: "The Hanging Committee needs great art to put into a new exhibition where members of the art establishment, together with members of the public, can view and buy the work that is selected.

"All the work at the exhibition will have a guide price attached but will be offered for sale by sealed offers - meaning that potential buyers will not know what anyone else has offered."
