Bilateral Fine Art Exhibition – and sale of works by two Irfon Artists

Anna-Lisa Coleman BA (Hons)  originates from London and has lived in the area for ten years. Her colourful paintings reflect a joyous response to freedom, landscape and light, often mused through serendipitous encounters and meditations during her marathon training runs through the hills in the Irfon Valley where the annual Man V Horse marathon takes place.
Her work is exhibited regularly & collected worldwide.

Lorraine Voss (BA Open) lives in Llanwrtyd Wells and is an intermittent creator of art and poetry. Her artwork is frequently inspired by the human face or form. She is also slightly obsessed by the soothing and mildly meditative state she finds herself in while painting Indian style, mandala patterns.
