Szidónia Gergely made the trip from Southampton to launch her display of paintings on 2 May 2022.
She was welcomed by many Fylde coast artists, and local supporters of the creative arts – including deputy mayor, Paula Burdess.
The self-taught artist specialises in portraits and a reflective classical style of art, but also works as a freelance tattoo artist in south east England.
Szidónia’s work is on display at the tearoom on Albert Road until 6 June 2022.
