The 55-year-old is chairman of Eastern Contemporary Artists, a group of around a dozen artists connected by shared aims and a passion for their work.

Close to 60 works are being hung in Great Yarmouth Library galleries, ready for the public to view from Saturday evening.

Mr Botwright, from Bradwell, picked up a paintbrush as therapy to cope with PTSD just a few years ago and has since won a clutch of a awards for his moody, churning seascapes.

The former Royal Marine said it was the group’s third exhibition but their first at the library.

The exhibition runs from Monday October 1 to Saturday October 6, 10-4pm.
