Celebrating Richard Morbey - An Exhibition of his Sculptures & Drawings
24 October - 31st October 2023
Richard Morbey (1944 - 2023) organised the life drawing sessions at West Ox Arts for many years and his beautiful drawings, which he regarded as mere studies for sculptures, are worth celebrating.
