All care will be taken and the screens will be returned on completion. The JP service is completely voluntary and we have no funds to purchase screens in the interim.

Looking for a female, mature, responsible, open-minded flatmate with a sense of humour, to live with a female writer/teacher and a white cat.
I like to live with flatmates in a way where we respect each others' privacy but can also share a meal, a laugh and a cup of tea/glass of wine when the occasion arises. It's also important for me to live with someone who has empathy towards animals, as I have a beautiful dainty white cat.

9 February to 10 March 2019
Opening function and meet the artist Friday 22 February from 5pm to 7pm
Born in England, David now lives on the North Shore. Trained as an astrophysicist at London and Leicester Universities, David has worked as a physics teacher for many years in the Middle East, Australia, the UK and New Zealand.
He began painting seriously in acrylics several years ago and has exhibited in galleries in Scotland and New Zealand. David's paintings are inspired by his interests in science and his work stretches from realism, through whimsical to surreal reflection. His work often suggests a story behind the image on the canvas, and his landscapes are inspired by the imaginary extensions of the real world.
David has exhibited in Scotland at the Seagull Gallery, Castle gallery and 18-East Gallery, and in Auckland at Lakehouse and Northart gallaries as well as Estuary Arts Centre.
