About
This event coincides with the first major retrospective of Isabel Alexander's work at the Mercer Art Gallery featuring over 50 prints, paintings and drawings.
Alexander trained at the Slade School of Art, London in the 1930’s then travelled widely in Europe and lived for the last 20 years of her life in Yorkshire, where her work attracted a strong following. The works on show reveal her extraordinarily diverse career as an illustrator and artist, influenced by her great love of the British landscape and the natural world, as well as her great empathy for the disadvantaged.
