The Plough, East Sheen showcases work of local artist Rachel Hunt during Sheen Art Trail

Throughout Sheen Art Trail [18 April to 2 May], Rachel’s artwork will be on display in The Plough – offering customers the opportunity to view and purchase her work. Rachel’s artwork includes illustrations of several other Fuller’s pubs – perfectly capturing the charm of each pub.

Now in its second year, the Sheen Art Trail will see a number of artists’ work showcased throughout East Sheen. It is free to attend and visitors will be able to follow the Art Trail map which plots the location of each participating business, showcasing the work of local artists.

Artist Rachel Hunt said: "I'm really pleased to be working with Fuller's again. I've illustrated some of their sites in London and they're all really beautiful buildings. My local is The Plough and I was delighted that the management team, Sonia and Manjit, invited me to exhibit my artworks in the pub as part of Sheen Art Trail. I'm very excited to have the opportunity to showcase my illustrations. Please follow Sheen Art Trail and discover loads of fantastic artists right on your doorstep.”

Sonia Labatut, General Manager of The Plough, added: “We're very excited to be part of the Sheen Art Trail. We know art is really important to our community – which is made up of so many creative people. It's amazing to be able to showcase their talent and their creativity. Rachel is a natural fit for us thanks to her collaborations with Fuller’s – she has created beautiful illustrations of some of our iconic sites, including us at The Plough. Being part of the community is vital for businesses and we're so lucky to have such an amazing community here in Sheen – so, being able to showcase Rachel's art is a real pleasure for us and we can't wait to see you all on the trail."
