A superb essay in the finest of pastel techniques from the doyenne in the media - Diana Armfield, now one of our senior Royal Academicians . Diana trained at the Slade School and the Central School of Art - she has exhibited through all the leading art institutions since 1965 including the Royal Academy - she has work in the V & A and the RA permanent collections and that of King Charles. She invariably works within a small format and her ability to explore textures and light within a tightly disciplined palette are remarkable.
