Esther Tyson Visit......

We had a lovely visit from Esther Tyson on Sunday, Esther was in the gallery for most of the day which was a treat for us as we don't get to see her very often & we had the added bonus of her bringing us some amazing new paintings.....
Esther is a member of the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA) and as such she is fortunate enough to travel far & wide documenting wildlife, Here is a little bit more about Esther Tyson.... 

Born in 1973, Esther Tyson was brought up in a small town at the edge of the Lake District, Cumbria. She studied at Carlisle College of Art and Design, Carmarthenshire College of Technology and Art and then London’s Royal College of Art. Esther has exhibited with the SWLA since 1999 where she was Associate and Bursary winner 2000 and was elected a full member in 2004. In 2008 she won the CAPMARK Award and the RSPB Award. In 2012 Esther received the CURWEN Studio Prize and IN 2014 will be one of four artists selected to travel to Senegal with the BTO/SWLA Artists out to Africa.
