Sandra has a broad range of styles mainly using acrylic techniques as well as some watercolours and pencil sketches.

Anchorsholme Coun Paul Galley said: “I’m so grateful to Claire for coming forward to want to show her work to the public.

“I’m sure everyone will enjoy seeing it. Our vision for Anchorsholme Library has always been for it to become a community hub used by everyone and enjoyed by all.

“What better way to do that than to allow the building to support independent artists from around the Fylde coast.

“January’s art exhibition by Sandra was really popular and we now have artists and exhibitions lined up until June.

“With the new cafe in the library doing really well, I’m over the moon with how it is all going and best of all it’s community led.”
