Kay Lanceley is under no illusion. Her role as key advisor on a retrospective exhibition of work by Colin Lanceley, her late husband, comes with a burden of personal gravity.

The National Art School in Darlinghurst will honour its alumni and former teacher with Colin Lanceley: Earthly Delights which will run from June 24 until August 12 at the beautiful NAS Gallery.
