British Wildlife Photography Awards Competition.

As of the 02/04/09 the "British Wildlife Photography Competition" was launched. This competition was the brain-child of internationally renowned natural history, wildlife, and landscape photographer Chris Weston and with 100% support and assistance from Maggie Gowan the idea has now been born.

St Helens Art Exhibition.

Last year I was asked to consider making a submission/application to partake in an art exhibition which was to be held in the Godfrey Pilkington Art Gallery. A short while later I was informed that I had been successful. The exhibition will commence open to the public on Friday 17th April and close on the 2nd May.

The exhibition is called the "Location" exhibition and will consist of a selection of work from six local artists, including myself.

The artists are as follows:

Andrew Foulds – Painter.

Tom Ferguson – Painter.

Yvonne Deegan – Textile & Mixed Media.

Nicola Gaskell – Painter

Mark Peachey – Landscape Photography, with a difference.

John Fairclough – Wildlife from home and away!!

I would like to give a very special thanks to "Vinyline Ltd" of St Helens

for their efforts and priceless support.

For those of you who don’t know, the "Godfrey Pilkington Art Gallery" can be found on the first floor of the Gamble Building, Victoria Square, St Helens, and the hours of opening are Monday to Saturday 10am – 4pm.

Please feel free to visit, like many other galleries, it is totally free of charge!!

If you go please do enjoy yourself.
