Only Connect
RA Summer Exhibition 2023 theme;
Having read David Renfry RA article describing the theme  ‘Only Connect’ he set for this year’s Summer Exhibition – I immediately knew what I wanted to do. One of the most important connections in life is that between a mother and child. Also, this theme was a very significant one for me and my family as we have been blessed with two grand babies – watching the silent bond grow between the mother and baby was the perfect inspiration for my two pieces in this year’s summer exhibition.
