Neil Carmichael supporting Local Artists
30 January 2012 at 13:00
Neil Carmichael continued his support of local art last week in meeting with Georgina Bond, a resident of the Stroud area and an artist. On two previous occasions Neil Carmichael has provided local artists with his constituency office as a space for them to exhibit their art on a medium term basis, Georgina Bond is to become the third.
A constituent of Conservative councillor for Chalford Debbie Young (also pictured), Georgina Bond did not take up art until well into her adulthood upon deciding to take lessons at the Stroud Museum in Lansdown. Specialising in watercolours, oils and acrylics, she is adept at producing landscape scenes, and is most capable in capturing town and village life in this corner of Gloucestershire.
Neil said: 'Whatever the pressing issues of the day might be in our economic affairs, our law and order and our foreign relations, we must never forget to nurture our arts and our culture which in the final analysis is what will go a long way in defining the happiness in our lives. I enjoy art that has been well crafted and I take pride in being able to help those who wish to display and promote it.
