Preparing for the Private View

“Powerful work – Strong shapes, vibrant colour, exciting use of line and media – wonderful explosions of all the visual elements. So assured.” GF

“Have seen your landscapes in previous exhibitions this is something new and stimulating. Loved it.” JMW

“Could spend hours here – the pictures are talking to each other.” JC

A visit on the last day by a group of Swansea art students brought this comment from their tutor :

Fab exhibition of line, colour and abstract expression. Was enjoyed by all students visiting this morning. Provoked many conversations and inspired all the students to explore, experiment and to be freer in their application of lines, colour and compositions. A huge thank you.” TF
