157. John Bowen, Billa Edwards, Clare Western
PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, PHOTOGRAPHY AND SKETCHBOOKS
We are privileged to exhibit our lively atmospheric work in this private
Normanesque chapel in its idyllic setting.
John Bowen: My theme is Reflection. My work celebrates the classical
figure drawing I admired as a schoolboy, and other work loaned from
private collections. An opportunity to reflect on both past and present.
Billa Edwards: En plein air, echoing my love of Purbeck, its stunning light
and landscape. Also my travels in India, capturing the spirit of the place.
Clare Western: Through the medium of photography, my contemporary
images reflect the natural shapes and patterns that are the essence of
Purbeck.
