Downland: Paintings by Anna Dillon, Poems by Jonathan Davidson

Anna Dillon was born in the market town of Wallingford (then Berkshire, now Oxfordshire) in 1972 and spent the first few years of her life in Wiltshire near Avebury before moving to South Oxfordshire where she still lives and works. Inspired by the ancient countryside of the British Isles she has been a professional artist since 2008 and has developed a vibrant signature style using bold and strong colour to reflect the form, contours and light of the land. Jonathan Davidson was born in Oxford in 1964, and lived in Didcot, South Oxfordshire, from 1965 until the late 1980s. He is a widely published poet and writer, with a particular interest in how poetry is heard and in how poetry is experienced in the natural world. He lives in the English Midlands, but frequently returns to the Vale of the White Horse and the Berkshire Downs.
