The Phoenix has risen from the ashes.: My Exhibition and others at the Willow Gallery 16.3.2013

Last year, I had the task of covering Helfa Gelf, (Wrexham area) 2012 for The Collective. This is where I first made contact with Anthea Landon, ( for more information and see Anthea J Landon 15.9.2012 Helfa Gelf (8 of 16) my blog about Helfa Gelf). She is a local, multi-talented artist .

As a result of meeting Anthea, and with her encouragement, she introduced me to the locally renowned Willow Gallery, Oswestry. This was the impetus that I needed to fulfill a personal goal - to have an exhibition of my own photography.

Anthea has been my mentor, when planning which work I was going to exhibit and the way in which I was to go about it. She also introduced me to a local picture framer, Phil ( http://www.eytonframers.co.uk/ )

These images are the ones that I selected to exhibit.

I found the experience a little surreal because I never thought that this event would become a reality. I wanted people to view the world through my eyes.

Thank you so much everyone that came to the preview event and a big thank you to everyone who supported me and took time to visit the exhibition. I'm not sure that I could have done it all without you all!
