An 80-year-old artist is using her incredible talent to help raise money for animals.

Pat Mear is exhibiting more than 50 framed pictures of dogs, cats, donkeys and more, with all profits being donated to the RSPCA.

All Creatures Great and Small will be held at Beckenham Library from March 8 to April 3.

Pat, who is a vegan, said: “Many people are experiencing very tough times now, but for animals it is even worse, so I want to spend my remaining time doing all I can to help rescue pets who need assistance and to help preserve our wonderful wilderness areas for the wild animals to survive."

The Croydon-based artist will be available to speak to art-lovers in the library between 11am and 12pm on Saturdays and between 3pm and 4pm on Wednesdays.
