This new work is now on long term loan to the cathedral and we are currently raising funds to enable the purchase of the painting so it can stay in the cathedral in perpetuity. For details of how to contribute to the fund please email here
A very generous donation from The Hazelhurst Trust covered the production costs of the work enabling it to be installed in the cathedral in May 2011. Guildford Arts has made a generous donation to the acquisition fund.
