In memory of the wonderful artist and creative Laurie Steen, all amateur and professional artists are invited to donate a piece of artwork on paper for entry into a prize draw and exhibition that will be held at Fursdon this coming September.
Why get involved?
To raise vital funds in memory of much loved, renowned artist Laurie Steen RWA. Hospiscare looked after Laurie and her family at the end of her life, just as they support and care for over 2,000 adults every year across Devon. They help families cope at the hardest of times.
