Corby Glen, Lincolnshire — August 11, 2025
A heartfelt posthumous exhibition celebrating the life and work of the late artist Mona Storey has raised £2,000 for The Travers Foundation, thanks to the generosity of visitors and supporters.
The exhibition, held August 9–10 at the Willoughby Memorial Trust Gallery, showcased over 200 of Mona’s vibrant paintings. Curated by her children, Paul and Kitty Storey, who travelled from New York to honour their mother’s memory, the two-day event invited the public to view—and take home—her work in exchange for charitable donations.
Terry Forsey, Chairman of The Travers Foundation, expressed his gratitude:
“We are humbled by the generosity shown over the weekend. Every penny of the £2,000 raised will go directly to helping young people engage with sport, music and the arts. Mona’s legacy will now inspire and support the next generation of creative and active young people.”
Mona Storey, who passed away last August at the age of 89, began painting only after retiring, yet produced a remarkable portfolio that captured her passion for life, community, and creativity. Known for her warmth, humour, and dedication to local causes, Mona’s impact extended far beyond her art.
Her children described the weekend as “a true celebration of Mum’s incredible second act,” noting that the atmosphere was filled with stories, laughter, and appreciation for Mona’s work.
The Travers Foundation thanked everyone who attended, donated, and helped make the event possible. Those who wish to continue supporting the cause can still donate online via:
