A TEN-YEAR-OLD girl's artwork has gone on display at the Fishing Heritage Centre.

Keera Chambers, of Ormiston South Parade Primary Academy, is the latest artist to be included in North East Lincolnshire Council's art collection.

Her portrait of best friend Ebony Gilbertball caught the eye of arts development officer Rachel McWilliams and former art teacher and art collection volunteer Alf Ludlam.

The painting is part of a collection created by pupils from the school and is currently on display.

Alf said: "All the portraits are excellent, but Keera's really stood out.

"It was the sensitivity of the lines and the way the colours define the face.

"It is a really strong drawing."

Rachel added: "The picture will now be framed professionally and added to the council collection, where it will be displayed for future generations.

"This display is in connection with the latest selection of artwork from the council collection on the theme of restoration and new acquisitions. Adding Keera's work to the collection is very important, as her portrait will now become part of the heritage for future generations.

"We welcome everyone to come down and see the hard work of the pupils and the items on display from the collections upstairs."

Keera said she feels really proud to have her picture chosen for the collection.

"We did the portraits in class and it took about two days," she said.

"I took a picture of my best friend Ebony and used that to draw the picture.

"I am really proud of myself to have been chosen and Ebony is really chuffed.

"I think my next portrait will be the members of my favourite band, Pierce The Veil."

Year 5 class teacher Sara Langford said: "I told Keera in class she had been chosen and she was really excited.

"We see the work they do in school, but it is fantastic for the pupils to get praise from the public as well.

"We will be back later in the year with another display."
