  • Winsley Art Group show

    by Alison Shelton Brown

    A group of people become more than the sum of their parts when they meet often, they share their lives as well as their inspiration, learning from and with each other through encouragement and support, withdrawing from the mundane to examine the joy and delight of line, colour, texture. 

    Eleven painters show together for the first time at West Barn, Bradford on Avon over the weekend of Saturday 8th to Sunday 9th October. I'm delighted to be organising this collection of really talented creatives and look forward to sharing it with many visitors over the weekend.
