A Jersey artist who died earlier this year will have one of her last requests fulfilled when her work appears at an exhibition.

Arthouse Jersey has organised a pop-up show called "Take Five" at Greve de Lecq Barracks on 29 and 30 June with works from local artists being displayed.

Among those whose work will feature at the event is Sue Harris, who died in March following a long illness.

Organisers said Ms Harris had told her partner Charles Alluto that she would still like her work displayed at the show and they would carry out her wish.

'Creative joy'

Mr Alluto said Ms Harris would have been "incredibly happy and proud" to have been invited to the show and even though some of her works are unfinished, it would be a joy to see them at the event.

"Whilst it is truly heartbreaking that she is not here to see her work in situ, this exhibition presents a wonderful way of remembering and celebrating the creative joy she found in painting," he said.

Doors will be open at the exhibition between 10:00 BST and 17:00 on both days.
