A BRIGHT new exhibition has opened at Winchester's Guildhall Gallery.

Entitled Vivid, the exhibition features works by artists Caroline Snowdon, Suzanne Caster, Hilary Goodman and ceramicist Juliet Neale, pictured left.

The artists are based in Newbury but Ms Snowdon went to The Westgate School and Peter Symonds College in Winchester.

The artists say the use of colour in the exhibition is designed to lift the spirits and leave the audience inspired and energised.

Vivid is running in the Guildhall Gallery until April 28. Admission is free.
