I attended a meeting today with Hilary Bradley, the manager of the Hawthorns Wildlife Centre. Hilary contacted me to see if I was interested in having an exhibition in Hawthorns when she saw some publicity about the Society of Wildlife Artists annual exhibition. The Centre is having a new cafe built and the exhibition is going to mark the opening of the cafe.

Hawthorns is all about native urban wildlife, being in the centre of Southampton (on the common), I suppose it has to be. So, I am planning on doing a number of pieces on that theme especially for the exhibition. There are a lot of very exciting ideas around so watch this space for more information as it comes in. At present that planned date for the exhibition is Feb-March 2007.
