The opening night for 'Flights of Fancy' was a really special experience for me. It was my first solo show with Linton and Kay and the work looked stunning in the renovated Victorian building which is now a beautiful gallery. I was thrilled that so many people attended and though I was nervous I did a little talk about a couple of the works and the meanings behind them. Later people told me they would like to hear more as there are so many references which are not immediately apparent. I love Renaissance painting and the use of artists to imbue meaning into the works and tell a story has greatly influenced my own work.
