Last chance to see! LION by Jayne Simpson @grundyartgallery ends today
Read about it @thefourdrinier
REVIEW: Director of The Fourdrinier David Hancock reviews Jayne Simpson’s latest exhibition LION, which connects the personal and the universal through her compassionate understanding strength, transformation, grief, and motherhood.
Simpson expands the painting medium into an immersive environment, inviting the viewer to emotionally participate rather than simply spectate.
