Mary Newman – Allsorts
May 13, 2019
The Windham Hime Memorial Exhibition 2019
Sponsored by Rupert King and Company, Chartered Accountants
“Allsorts ” is not the liquorice sort, but a description of the variety of media and themes. Mary treats us to another quirky exhibition with ‘traditional’ art, theatre pieces, post-it-note doodles and a few interesting stories and anecdotes with associated artworks. Look out for the suspicious package – a true story (and the snails!)
“I was born and raised in Bristol but have lived in Ruskington, then Sleaford for over 40 years. Aged forty-two I graduated from Hull Art College with a BA (hons) Fine Art.
Back in Sleaford I took on Adult Education Art classes and gained a City and Guilds 730 Certificate in adult teaching. I retired having taught for 17 years.”
“These days I am involved in running the Carre Gallery, belong to the Sleaford Hub Writers, Sleaford Art Group and Sleaford Little Theatre group. I have been painting theatre scenery for for about 20 years off and on, mostly for the pantomimes at Heckington and Sleaford. My friends who give me lots of support were all born in the same year as me! We call ourselves the 45ers.”
“I hope my exhibition will amuse and entertain you.”
The exhibition is open 10 am – 4 pm every day (except Sunday) until 27 May 2019.
