The art lover created the Facebook group, Emerging Creative Souls in February and has 138 members from as far away as the UK, Italy, France and Sweden.
‘We have put a diverse group together who are very like minded,’ she said.
‘We post information about art awards and exhibitions, contact each other and find out what others are doing.
‘There is another exhibition in November and I will take a group to Italy next year.’
The exhibition at Kidogo Art House in Mews Road will open daily, 11am-5pm. Opening night is Friday, July 18, 6-8pm.
