Julian met with James Owen Thomas, an artist from JOT’s Gallery which is in Pateley Bridge. James presented Julian with the artwork ‘A Path To Peace.’
James created this dramatic piece when he heard the shocking news of the war in Ukraine. As he was horrified to see the terrible scenes on the news, and wanted to capture the destruction and devastation to people’s lives and homes, as well as the impact on nature.
The tree in the foreground surrounded by greyness is stripped bare but the greener path to follow could lead to peace. James has also used dollar, pound and euro symbols to show the monetary support to Ukraine from around the world. The piece serves as a great reminder that we must support Ukraine in its fight to live in peace and security.
