With unprecedented access to military medical facilities including the A.M.S. Training Centre, Strensall Camp, D.M.R.C. Headley Court and TMW Brize Norton; artist Julia Midgley has created over 150 reportage sketches showing military surgeons in training and the rehabilitation of servicemen and women after surgery.

Julia will look at examples of the work of official War Artists from the First and Second World Wars as well as reportage artists who have focused on medicine, military and civilian, from 20th – 21st Century.  It will then focus on her “War Art & Surgery” drawings featured in the current exhibition, describing the experience of working with recovering service personnel as well as the drawing process.
