An Exhibition of new work by artist and owner of Almond Tree Gallery, Mary Dillon. ‘The paintings in ‘ Layers’, look at the ways by which layers of colour and light, can bring us to places that lie beyond the subject of the painting. Paintings of organic forms with all the sensual fluidity that is so evident on the surface, can lead us to deeper layers both within and beyond ourselves.’ Work by other gallery artists also showing.
