Nuneaton Art Gallery

'Happy Ever After' is now on at Nuneaton Art Gallery until the 5th October.

An exhibition that documents a playful response to the world around me.  Fond memories and familiar objects from the everyday - notions of motherhood, shopping lists, food wrappers and graphic packaging - absorbed into the fabric by patchwork and quilting techniques.
