Jane Phillips Private View: 7pm Friday 5th August

05 August - 05 August 2011

Jane Phillips was Mission Gallery's Director from 2003-2011. She passed away on 6th February 2011 after a long illness. Jane dedicated her life and career to Mission Gallery and worked on a voluntary basis for over 20 years as its Gallery Co-ordinator.

After training as a painter at Central School of Art in the late Seventies, Jane returned to Swansea where she worked from her studio in Gloucester Place, opposite Mission Gallery. The majority of work included in this exhibition was created after she graduated and set up her studio in the early Eighties. These colourful, abstract paintings, serve as a fitting tribute to, and celebration of, Jane's creativity and talent.

With the support of her family, friends and colleagues, Mission Gallery will organise a series of events and fundraisers during the exhibition, as well launching the Jane Phillips Award, which will support emerging artists and craftmakers, one of Jane's great passions.

 

The website www.janephillipsaward.co.uk will be launched during Summer 2011
