Alison has used her studio for exhibitions of many sorts over the past two years.

He is pictured with Lindsay Wright, one of the exhibitors at the Amalgam exhibition, a showcase of work by second year fine art degree students.

Gary also visited Stable Arts in Nynehead for the Willis Family Exhibition.

He said: “It was a very lovely display of paintings done by the three members of the Willis family.”
