While her stunning photographs of shells, sea urchins and starfish are a far cry from traditional still life photography, Liz also explores the use of unusual colours by challenging the use of traditional film photography. A Kent resident, Liz cannot imagine living more than 20 minutes from the sea; she has been a photographer for over 20 years and her work is in private and public collections worldwide. 9am-5pm, Fri, Sat & Sun. Price: Free admission. The Art Shack, Kent Wildlife Trust, Dymchurch Road, New Romney TN28 8AY www.lizgarnett.com MG Car Club Championships // 3-4 May Jackson – Live in Concert // 10 May Jack ͽ
