Llangollen camera club at the fringe 2015 and other exhibitions


Exhibition in Oswestry 

 Dead men Walking 


Back in December 2014 I was lucky enough to be asked to Exhibit one of my images. Which was at the Visitor and Exhibition Centre to commemorate 100 years since World War 1. 



Christ Church Rossett

Co-ordinated by the Oswestry Coalition for Peace, Dead Men Talking features art and writings that focus on the effect war has on populations both physically and spiritually, and in particular the horror and futility of the 1914-18 Great War.
