Artist of the Month Feature Goes Live

Our new feature “Artist of the Month” on our website kicks starts our 2023 year by going live. Each month we will bring one of our group to the fore showcasing examples of their work. Many of the paintings shown will be available for purchase.

Painting is fun, at times frustrating, but is a great way to forget your worries and a marvellous stress reliever.
