And finally a big thank you to freelance writer Josh Gibbs who wrote a fantastic blurb about our current landscape show at the art shop project on Earlham road:
“Emerging artist Jenny Leonard Explores the subject of landscape as a platform for the self to traverse, bringing about new discoveries of the changing nature of perceived reality. The travelling mind and its surroundings are key to the nature of the work. Indeed she adopts strong contrasts with her choice of media that render elements of the work to become simultaneously both microcosmic and more immediately tangible.”
