Extremely
sad news that Frances McDowall died las week. She was the other half
of Nicolas McDowall and of The Old Stile Press, their unique and
marvellous creation, lovingly nurtured by both of them since 1979.
My friendship and collaboration with Frances and Nicolas over many years has been a joy and inspiration and it is impossible to think of The Old Stile Press without Frances' calm, strong, positive presence. My heartfelt condolences to Nicolas and his family. I can't find the words at present.

Hi, We have just bought Frances and Nicholas' house in Wales. Reading about the history it is very clear they loved their house very much, we would love to hang your art in the house.
If you can selling can you let me know how I could buy a print?
