The Florilegium at Kew

 
Today I'm writing about 3 exhibitions currently showing at the wonderful Shirley Sherwood Gallery in Kew Gardens.  I'm really happy to say that a painting of mine is in the Florilegium Exhibition and I was very lucky to attend the special artists preview night early in April, which was wonderful and a real thrill!  It really was such privilage to see the many works by such talented artists, presented so beautifully and in such an exquisite exhibition space!
