This Is It at University of Lincoln

This is my Final Year Show I had at Lincoln University. We published a catalogue and sold it on the Private View Evening. I found preparing the show to be stressful and tiring but in the end it was a fantastic event that came to life when everything was complete. ——– Click here to see my studio paintings
