    Faces of The Villages

    Brian Flack has lived in Langham for almost 25 years with his wife Gill and sons Matt and Tim. They have all been very involved with village life. Brian has always had an interest in art and he studied Art and Art History whilst at college. He then had a long career in the Property and the Financial Services industry, but still found time to produce work in pastels, watercolours and pen and ink drawing. Brian also has a keen interest in photography.

    Since retiring, Brian has been able to resume his love of painting and drawing. He joined the Butterfly Art Group, led by Sally North, and new artistic horizons were explored. His work has featured at several exhibitions locally and he has an exhibition at The Digby Gallery at the Mercury Theatre in Colchester from 22 March until 2 April
