Big shout out to new artists who took part, and enjoyed seeing your work live in a gallery for the very first time ... this is only the beginning.

Talent Alert!!!!

What a privilege to showcase the fabulous work of Year, 7, 8, 9 and 10 at The Hatch for St Mary's Catholic College, Wallasey.

I'm blown away by the artwork of these young students and I can only imagine where they will go next. Kudos to their teachers and school for bringing this together.

Take a look at my walk through, but please visit today and tomorrow if you can. Only here for two days, but what a show!
