Don Peebles
The Friends lost a supportive and entertaining Patron when Don Peebles died in March. He attended openings and events with a quiet humour and questioning approach, always seeming to thrive in the company of people who loved art as much as he did.

Don was generous with his time and knowledge and respected the relationship the Friends have with the Gallery, ensuring he was present at many of our functions, and often amongst the last to leave. We send our heartfelt thanks to Prue and the family for sharing this wonderful artist and man with so many of us.
