The Colchester Art Society was founded in 1946 by a group of artists based in and around Colchester. Its earliest members included John Nash, Cedric Morris, Henry Collins, Roderic Barrett, Joyce Pallot and Sylvia St. George. Currently there are 350 members and the society organises two major exhibitions each year. Works are subject to selection by an elected panel and I am delighted my pastel painting ‘Flora’ has been selected for this exhibition in the Benham Gallery at Cuckoo Farm Studios.
