Yew Tree Gallery
past shows
from 1st - 31st December and January by appointment
(Closed for Christmas 23 - 27th December)
This preparation time before Christmas brings contemplation as well as busy-ness, thoughts of the significance of the Nativity and also a time for recollecting the year’s happenings in our own lives and in the world. This ADVENT exhibition touches on the whole gamut of life ~ its joy, colour, fun, mystery, mythology, solemnity, homeliness and transience ...
I hope you enjoy it all!
