HOSPITAL patients will be able to see a stunning exhibition of shots of the Jurassic Coast thanks to a local photographer.

Yeovil Hospital’s outpatients department will host the showcase of photographs of the iconic coastline, snapped by Dorset-based artist Sam rose, as part of its long-running exhibition programme.

The exhibition, which will adorn the department until the end of March, will feature photographs from Portland to West Bay.

Photographer Sam, who is part of the Jurassic Coast management team, is delighted to have the opportunity to share his work with visitors to the hospital: “This is a wonderful chance for me to share my love of photography with local people and feature some inspiring images of West Dorset and the Jurassic Coast.

“I am always looking for that magical combination of view and light and we are lucky enough to have many fabulous views on our doorstep. I hope that visitors enjoy the photographs as much as I have.”

Caroline Barnes, who co-ordinates art around the hospital, said: “Every day hundreds of patients, staff and visitors pass through the gallery and often comment on the changing exhibition programme, which is part of our commitment to improving and enhancing the hospital environment for everyone here.”
