This refreshing and well-received Solo Exhibition from our very own irrepressible Kat Uzakova (who has been, and continues to be, a safe pair of hands in the Gallery Kitchen Cafe), was mainly inspired by cooking with Faversham’s and our favourite chef Lorraine Dickson. For those who may have missed this show there are a number of photos available in our Facebook Page Album “9 Paintings & 12 Linen Towels” #SoloShow Kat Uzakov.
