Above is the translated information as outlined on the website of the Klovicevi Dvori Gallery

in Gradec in Zagreb. An invitation was issued to students of Fine Art in the Academy to submit a proposal to participate in this exhibition. I submitted an outline of my current work as part of my Erasmus project, called Blackberry Picking which comprised of three paintings. It is based on the poetry of Seamus Heaney, my English tutor many decades ago in Carysfort College. His poetry is the inspiration for my exploration of the theme of memory, loss, relationships. My application was successful and one of my paintings, Battlfield, was accepted for inclusion in the exhibition. The exhibition was in two parts, the first selection of work was shown in the main Gallery from 3rd December to the 13th and the second part of the exhibition, including my work, ran from 20th December until 8th January. This was a wonderful opportunity to exhibit in this really lovely gallery.
