The IAS Autumn Exhibition is in the middle of it's annual run. Opened this year by Sandy Nairne, CBE and Director of the National Portrait Gallery. The Exhibition runs until 22nd November at the Original Gallery, Hornsey Library, Crouch End, N8 9JA and entry is free.

There was a terrific turn out at the Private View where I was busy taking photographs for the society: We got good press coverage with images printed on the front page of The Islington Tribune and also this week's Ham & High (Broadway edition).

If you are local and want to see a wide range of artistic styles from your creative neighbours, go along. I will be there on Tuesday 18th November between 4 and 7pm.

Here are a few pics from the event, along with my two pieces that are hanging on the wall.
