## Summary

More than 50 original paintings by the late wildlife artist Pollyanna Pickering will be shown at a free exhibition at her private gallery at Brookvale House, Oaker, near Matlock, from 7 to 15 November 2026. Open daily from 10am to 6pm, the exhibition will also launch Inspired by Nature, a new book bringing together more than 50 of her paintings and sketches with quotations she collected during her life. Some of the images are being published for the first time, and several works featured in the book will be on display.

Pickering’s daughter and former business partner, Anna-Louise, selected the quotations and paired them with the artwork. She is expected to be at the gallery throughout the exhibition to discuss the paintings and the wildlife behind them. Prints, cards, books and other items featuring Pickering’s art will also be available. The organisers say at least 10% of purchases will go to British wildlife conservation through the Pollyanna Pickering Foundation. The book is due to be available through Pickering’s website after the exhibition.
