This gallery was located in the Haymarket next door to the Capitol Theatre. It was a double fronted shopfront with a high ceiling and north facing windows. My exhibition for Gallery 19 comprised of 50 drawings and paintings many of which were based on urban and rural landscapes combined with a series of images based on the theme of St Francis of Asissi.

As well as being the patron saint of animals, St Francis is also considered to be the patron saint of artists. St Francis’ concept of re-creating nativity scenes while modifying his own life in order to reflect that of the life of Chris are considered to be amongst the first recorded evidence of installation or early forms of performance art.
