Her project, Architecture of Hull, has taken her to Trinity Square as she begins montages and paintings of its historic buildings, streets and public furniture.

She said: "It's part of Hull that I love. There are some beautiful buildings and ironwork and carvings that are easy to miss. The more I like the more I see.
"You've got to look up because if you don't you don't see the beauty of what is there. The Old Town is just stunning."
The 55-year-old is planning to create a series of paintings, some of which will be entered in the Ferens Art Gallery's annual open competition.
Samples of her work on Burton Agnes are on display in the Hall's Russian Room. For more details visit www.axisweb.org
