Cover
There wasn’t a cover competition in 2022. Instead, a cover was commissioned from a local artist, Gill Williams. Gill was born and went to school in Weston-super-Mare. She got married and moved around England, before moving back to the West Country on retirement. She now lives in High Ham near Langport. She has drawn and painted since school and loves working with colour, particularly on landscapes. She enjoys painting with acrylics which suit her style.
