Celine Alexander-Brown
Private View: Thursday 30th March, 5pm – 7pm
Exhibition runs until: Friday 21st April 2023
Celine’s journey began with flowers and nature, including macro photography and focus stacking, seeing the minuscule detail and miracle of each single flower. This in turn, because of the beauty of nature, drew her deeper and led her to the spiritual beauty of churches and cathedrals.
The next part of Celine’s journey led her to beauty of a different kind, hidden in the slums and streets of Kolkata, Celine took some fascinating photographs, capturing moments of time within the community of Kolkata, some of which form part of this exhibition.
And then Lockdown arrived… isolated and at home, Celine took part in a book project involving members of the RPS Contemporary North group about what 2020 meant to her.
Once lockdown had lifted, Celine started to venture out and went onto publishing two books – ‘Restless Waters’, which are poems/prayers and reflections of her journey over the past 20 years and also – ‘Eyes of the Heart’, a photobook of the images she took during her time in Kolkata.
Celine had now entered a new phase of her photographic journey interpreting things creatively using Photoshop and intentional camera movement, returning once again to nature, countryside and seaside.
We do hope you can make it to the opening, which offers a great opportunity to meet Celine over drinks & nibbles and ask any questions you may have about the work on display.

Happy New Year
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you all the very best for 2023.
We would like to invite you to attend the first exhibition of 2023 at The Heritage Gallery launching with a private view on:
Thursday 19th January 2023
Between 5pm and 7pm
The opening night offers a great opportunity to meet Kate over drinks & nibbles and ask any questions you may have about the work on display.
Kate says:
“When we are outside, whatever the weather and season, it’s the sky that frames our view, reflecting our thoughts and emotions back onto us.
The North East landscape with its sometimes shocking contradictions and diverse terrain, have a direct effect on the people within it, whether good, bad or beautiful, it is endlessly compelling and distinct.
Photographic images at their very best seem to suspend moments in time, hovering in a separate dimension – this place, that thought, then.
My hope is that these images resonate and connect with you, the viewer.”
Kate’s superb eye for composition and the ability to capture an atmosphere within her photography is inspiring. This exhibition will bring an abundance of ambience within the images and we do hope you can make it to the opening to see them.

We are proud to now be sponsoring Maddie Mae Chambers, goalkeeper and winger at Billingham Town FC Girls, for the 22/23 season.
Maddie transferred to the under 16’s Billingham Town FC Girls team a little over two years ago and has since qualified as a football coach.
Speaking with Maddie, she said: “I’ve played football since I was three and throughout the years it has always been the highlight of my day. So, I would love to follow football through into my adult life with my dream being to one day become an England lioness and leave an impression on woman’s football, just like the current lionesses have.
“After completing my FA Playmaker coaching course, I realised how little we are doing to get more girls into this fantastic sport.
“I’m currently studying in my final year at Trinity Catholic College and next year I will be attending their sixth form where I have enrolled in their T6 programme (sixth form football academy) where I can further my football ability, and hopefully support the younger generations coming through Trinity Catholic College.”
Maddie continued: “As this is my first season as full-time team captain, I’m looking forward to leading the girls into the 22/23 season in a sport we all love and enjoy. I’m determined to show all the hard work we have put in during pre-season, as well as the work of our manager Bekah and coach Tony will pay off.
“We will go out there week in and week out, giving it everything we have got to the best of our abilities and hopefully make history as well as memories. Teamwork makes the dream work”
We would like to wish Maddie and the rest of the team good luck for the season ahead, we are excited to see where your journey takes you.

“Rediscovering the North East” by the Darlington Association of Photographers launches on Thursday 15th September 2022, between 5pm and 7pm.
All welcome to join us!
The opening offers a great opportunity to meet some of the photographers and ask any questions you may have about the work on display over drinks and nibbles.
During and after the recent spell of lockdown due to Covid 19, members of the group rediscovered and appreciated what makes the North East of England so special. Members have chosen, through their individual interpretations of the area, to show what it means to them, by using both modern and traditional photographic media and techniques.
The exhibition showcases aspects of the North East from York in the south to Morpeth in the north, bounded by the Pennines on the west and the North Sea on the east. We hope you enjoy their selection and in turn, that you rediscover some of the best the North East has to offer.
We hope to see you at the opening and look forward to seeing you there.
Exhibition ends Friday 14th October 2022.
