Isabella Mouse

 

Isabella Mouse is a story written by Nicky Harvey and Illustrated by Helen, which you can find on youtube https://youtu.be/moIjkxp2moY?si=wqxKebtCu13sS93_

 

It came out from an idea for a project for Shallal Art Connection group when we were thinking about doing Illustration. We immediately thought that Nicky might be a good person to write a story for us.

For the next few months over the hour sessions the artists, who meet on zoom once a week, sat down and started creating wonderful drawings,  most of these are included in this exhibition.

 

Alongside these drawings are Isabella Mouse’s ‘Friends’ more paintings by Nicky’s daughter Lily who was one of the main artists.

 

Shallal has often been described as a family and so all the pictures in this exhibition are from the Shallal family, and some of the artists outside the Art Connection have joined in with adding sketches and drawings that you can find in the glass case.

We hope you enjoy it.

Shallal works collaboratively and collectively across a range of art forms and mediums, ages and interests, if you feel like you’d like to join us do get in touch.

 

We have dedicated this exhibition to Lily’s mother Nicky who sadly passed away earlier this year.

 

Many thanks to Falmouth Art Gallery who have always been a wonderful supporter of Shallal.

Many thanks to Anna Willis without whose help this exhibition wouldn’t have come to fruition, as Lily lives in Spain and we didn’t want ask her to send over original paintings.

Many thanks also to Oliver Raymond Barker who helped us get these and Helen’s images into print.

 

Some of the work is for sale
