LIZZIE PATEL, a conceptional artist, presents River Journey No. 2 - The River Dee. The River Test Journey was a great inspiration in the late 2011 Lizzie began her 2nd river journey, along the River Dee or Afon Dyfrdwy, as they say in Wales! This journey shows the contrasts between the different areas in architecture and street signs in Welsh and English as well as the effects different seasons have on light sources. The humble postcard used to cummunicate to folks back home new and views of our travels, inspired both River journey's.

Ruth Wooles, I have always loved the outdoors, being in wonderful scenery, especially mountains, hills and by the sea. A few years ago I resurrected my passion for sewing and creating. I particulary enjoy quilting, finding & selecting the right fabrics for my design & moving away from simply following patterns. This passion has developed further to combine my love of beautiful scenery with the creation of pictures & artists impressions produced in the form of textiles, piecing and quilting.

Meet the Artist Open Evening is on 26th February - 7pm to 9pm free entry and refreshments everyone is welcome.
