A "POET of the lens" will hold an exhibition featuring local scenes and creative writing at a Bishop Auckland gallery next month.
Photographer and artist Pat Maycroft will present, Northern Grit, in The Discovery Centre, Market Place, from Thursday.
The exhibition runs until Saturday, December 18. It is a fusion of Ms Maycroft's photography and creative writing by the Vane Women writing group.
Much of her work is drawn from her village, Cockfield, and the nearby fell, and memories of Middlesbrough where she was born.
Her black and white photographs of buildings, landscapes and still life spanning several years was the inspiration for the writing group which provided poems to accompany the display.
Ms Maycroft is a graduate of photography and an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society. She uses digital techniques and conventional methods to reflect Northern life.
The centre is ran by volunteers and supported by environment agency Groundwork West Durham. It is open Thursday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm. Admission is free.
