Alumni Art in Trevs
B
etween 24th January and 11th March 2011, Trevelyan College was proud to display the art work of five of our foundation year students (1966-1969)
Diana Bishop, Jill Ferguson, Angela Hooper, Susannah Lash and Vicki Wegg Prosser, pictured below, call themselves the ‘Parson’s Field Painters’ in remembrance of their first year in Durham, when they lived at Parson’s Field House (now part of the St Cuthbert’s Society) whilst waiting for Trevs to be ready for occupants.
They say: “In the intervening years we have brought up families; and have had varied careers including the Ministry of Defence, lecturing, social work, BBC, documentary film making, Olympic rowing, and Liberal Democrat politics; disparate activities which have now made way for our own creativity.” “We are scattered all over the country, but have kept in touch and have discovered that we are all engaged in painting or print-making. We now meet regularly and paint...sometimes! We are also in touch with Joan Bernard, Trevelyan’s first Principal, who suggested this exhibition.” These pictures of Trevs students in the bar, admiring the work of the painters, were taken by a current Trevelyan student Joel Snape. Many thanks to him!. Do you meet up with your friends from Trevelyan? We’d love to include some more news like this in our next Hippocampus.
