Lesley is having a Studio Sale on 25th and 26th April 12-4 pm. It will be worth a visit!

I'm having a SALE!
To officially open my garden art studio and in preparation for another exhibition at the end of the year, I am holding a sale on the 25th and 26th of April to clear some space for new work.

There will be lots of bargains, with some paintings and products being reduced up to 50%, as well as some new mini framed pieces on show.

If you are in the area, it would be lovely to see you!
There is plenty of on street parking and as there is no Kilmarnock football fixture at Rugby Park that weekend, parking restrictions DO NOT apply as they are only for match days.

Come along, say hello, have a browse!
