During Summer 2016 I had the privilige of working with SoMAC as part of the Art in the City Project in Gloucester. I worked with an amazing group called Increase The Peace - ITP. With them I started a large Roman Style Mosaic based on the History of Gloucester. It is now back in my studio where I am currently completing the mosaic ready for installation in the Spring of 2017.
