ISLEXPO was a roaring success, with speakers from near and far sharing their stories and wisdom about making your business shine. One of our highlights was the ‘fireside chat’ with Dave Morsley and Artist Roger Dean! We chatted to Roger about the Expo and caught some of the delegates who shared their experiences of the event.
An exhibition of Roger's original paintings is now on display at the Sayle Gallery where you'll find pieces making their Island debut and to make things even better, you can order high-quality posters and prints to take home with you.
For more information about the exhibition, visit sayle.gallery or www.manxartdirectory.com
Roger Dean’s website is over here: gallery.rogerdean.com
