At Art Systems Wickham is LOVED by Jill Orr until February 28. After downsizing her studio, Orr discovered an exhibition of drawings and paintings that "is an unexpected chronicle of my working life in Newcastle." She uses watercolours that change from intense colour saturation to barely there, soft pastels form leaves and stems with a few dashes, the result of years spent behind the easel. Opening on Saturday, February 13, 2pm at 40 Annie St, Wickham.
