A WILDLIFE artist is holding a free exhibition of her work at a garden centre this weekend.

Mum-of-two Tracey Hollis Rowe, from Leigh, specialises in lifelike paintings and drawings of animals, particularly giraffes.

The 43-year-old is self-taught and her work will be on show at Bents Garden and Home in Glazebury on Saturday and Sunday.

Tracey said: “This is a wonderful opportunity as a Leigh artist to showcase my work near to my home town and I really look forward to meeting everyone over the weekend.

“It is very rare for me to exhibit any of my work so I am really excited by this opportunity.”

All of her artwork will be available to buy and Tracey will be happy to discus commissions for animal portraits.
