Mother & Son Art Exhibition
For the first time, mother-and-son duo Barbara Peirson and Joe Lichtenstein will present a joint exhibition as part of the Wivenhoe Art Trail. Barbara’s wistful, mysterious works contrast beautifully with Joe’s bold, dynamic style, offering two distinct perspectives on Wivenhoe’s landscapes.
This collaboration is a celebration of family, creativity, and the town they call home. Barbara’s paintings often carry a touch of humour and nostalgia, while Joe’s energetic brushstrokes capture the vibrancy of the world around him. Together, they create a dialogue through art, inviting viewers to see familiar scenes through fresh eyes.
