"Endangered!"
30th September - 21st October 2023
Kilcock Art Gallery was delighted to host Mary McGrath's solo exhibition entitled "Endangered!", which ran from the 30th September to the 21st October 2023.
"My passion for biodiversity and conservation of our natural world continues to imbue my work. My art is an attempt to highlight nature’s beauty, the importance of retaining and encouraging wildlife habitats and what can be lost if we don’t."
