I Am Impressed

Due to being on holiday when the exhibition opened, I had not seen Nolitex’s  TideLine  until I went to steward at the Sam Scorer Gallery in Lincoln yesterday.  All I can say is that if you miss this, you miss a treat.  I knew we had some exciting work for the exhibition, but I did [...]
