Rob's artwork could take Zoe to Bolivia
The print, especially commissioned by sixth-year pupil Zoe Pflug and her mum Audrey, who lives in the village, has been created by local artist Rob Hain.
Entitled ‘Village Green’, the artwork is painted in Mr Hain’s unique style, with only 195 limited edition prints being produced.

A portion of the monies raised will go towards Zoe’s fundraising drive to take part in the expedition, which will see the group work to help those living in undeveloped areas.
David Wallace, owning partner of The Gallery Melrose, which is displaying the print, said: “We admire this initiative which uses art as a means of helping others and are keen to help Zoe in any way we can.
“It is a privilege to be selling this specially-commissioned artwork by Rob Hain for a great cause.”
