AY’s Art Exhibition

AY uses art as an expressive form. AY gets inspiration from everyday life and reflects on past experiences helping his emotional health and wellbeing. AY enjoys talking to people about his work and this has landed him display spots at The Point Gallery and Nicholls butchers in the Colonnades.

AY held an exhibition of his work at The Pleasance. We invited Doncaster’s Mayor George Derx who gave the opening speech at AY’s event. Visitor’s then had the opportunity to meet the artist and view his work.

AY had chosen pieces of his work and listed them for sale prior to the event. AY had buyers from his exhibition and made a nice profit from the day. AY spent his time chatting to Mayor George Derx who invited him for afternoon tea at the Mansion House. AY was overjoyed with the amount of people who attended to view him work. His words at the end of the event were ‘I must be an official Artist if all those people have come to see me’.

AY received his invitation to The Mansion House from the Mayor a few weeks after his exhibition. AY was met by George and his wife Pauline Derx and spent the afternoon with them having tea, sandwiches and cake. AY then had a personal guided tour round the huge building and loved discussing all the history of the art on the walls.
