A new book

Local artist Mari I'Anson has produced a beautifully illustrated book of water-colours and sketches. Having filled the pages of her sketchbooks with images of the Finchley area, Mari has taken the best pictures to produce this unique book comprising over 60 pages, depicting some of the shops, schools and other buildings that inspired her. Interspersed with sketches of people, this is truly a collectable item. More details
