Joan Scott, Caroline Scott 
& Isobel Ross

Based in Dorset, Caz, Isobel and Joan have been exhibiting together for several years since they completed HNC/D in Fine Art. Although the group are inspired by their local surroundings, they all show very individual responses to the environment. Their use of different and varied media will make this an unusual and exciting exhibition.
