‘Journey’s End’ was the third in a trilogy of one-man art exhibitions the first being ‘Private Journey’ and the second being ‘Journeyman’. The exhibitions were encouraged by my therapist during a six year period self analysis and were shown at Mansfield Art Gallery and County Hall, Nottingham. The Mansfield shows were opened by Alan Meale MP and the Nottingham shows were opened by David White, Director of social Services, both of whom became fans of my work and firm friends.
