Self-taught artist shows her work
9:36am Tuesday 2nd January 2007
A MOTHER is exhibiting a range of her artwork for the very first time. Lisa England, 34, is showcasing more than 20 pieces of artwork at the What If? gallery.
The exhibition at the gallery in Dartford High Street is a mixture of metallic sculptures, paintings of animals and portraits.
Miss England, of Gouge Avenue, Northfleet, has taken two years putting the exhibition together while being a full-time mum to her three-year-old son, Jack.
So far more than 200 people have visited the exhibition, which runs until Saturday.
The self-taught artist started seven years ago and says the exhibition has really built up her confidence.
She said: "I love creating art and I have had loads of great comments from people who have come to the exhibition, which is really nice.
"The show doesn't really have a title or theme but is a collection of my work from the past few years for everyone to come and have a look at."
