In October we will be hosting George Smith; a life-long artist originally from Liverpool, England. George studied painting and sculpture at Liverpool University (BFA) under personal tutelage of David Nash and apprenticed with sculptor Sean Rice. George's exhibition at Round Hill Studio titled “Postcards From the Edge” is inspired by early 20th century erotica that was published in the form of postcards, mostly in the 20s and 30s. The coy, the playful, the almost innocent - t

When it clicks it click! The fear is that the compatibility in life cannot translate to art; this is not
