Organisers said the exhibition would feature "surreal illustrations, collaged creatures and mindful methods".

Mr Greenwood said his work was a "process of quieting my thoughts".

He said: "I can always pour hours away swirling loops and lines without having to think about my next move.

"I have had a lot of interesting interpretations and to hear what others' imaginations bring to the forefront is always so interesting."

Ms Fulton said her art was "inspired by nature".

"I collage illustrations - starting out with Jersey wildlife, now featuring creatures from all around the globe," she said.

"I hope to inspire people to get creative by what they see in their environment."
