Beautiful work by artist Amanda Hayler. She will be showcasing it at this year's @spring_fling.

Art has always been a part of Amanda's life. But it wasn’t until she was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 that she began to really pursue her art. https://t.co/9voNjSyhVE

It might seem ages away, but if you are visiting @spring_fling 's Studio 54 - with the lovely + talented @leemingpaterson - then do consider joining one of the 'Walking through a New Wilderness' trips across the site. We'll be discussing what we can see, how we interpret...
