Jina Gelder is a Newcastle-based wildlife artist who has painted for many Wild in Art trails.
This book bench, one of two benches on the trail, featuring a little Peter Rabbit™ sculpture, is a love letter to everything Beatrix Potter admired about the British countryside. Featuring faithful depiction of the author and illustrator’s famous characters, this bench, created in celebration of Potter’s 160th anniversary, is both beautiful and nostalgic.
