The society has had many distinguished names on its membership list including Gwen Raverat, Cecil Beaton and Ronald Searle to name a few.

Ouse-Life Group

The Ouse Life Drawing group started in February 1997 with a small group of artists who met weekly. There is no tuition, the philosophy of the group being to provide a space, venue and a model from which to work in whichever way the artist chooses.

Heather has been a member for 2 years enjoying the challenges and discipline that Life Drawing demands. She took part in the 'Body Moved' Exhibition at the Babylon Gallery in Ely and 'An Advent of Angels' and 'APP'D' at Prickwillow Phone Box Gallery.
