Read moreIn Conversation – exhibition featuring Liliana Stafford and David Green
A few weeks ago I left my studio room at Paper Bird to work at home. One of the artists to move into my space is David Green. I have always admired his work and couldn’t be happier to exhibit with him in the Paper Bird Gallery. We are planning to do something a little different with both 2d...
