Sharon, who was born in Royston and has lived there for 30 years, plans to donate 20 per cent of proceeds from sales at the exhibition to Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust.

A self-taught artist, Sharon uses pastel, colour pencils and charcoal, is a member of Royston Arts Society and does pet portrait commissions.

She said: "I am an advocate for wildlife conservation and therefore most of my work depicts wildlife."
