Relative Journeys : River Kwai Revisited

Trackside Gallery May 2006

"A Chiswick artist is infusing the beauty and power of her paintings with the darkness of wartime Thailand to bring a painful history to life."

Faye Duxberry, Richmond & Twickenham Times

National Memorial Arboretum May 2008

"...it was a rather wonderful day... I had the chance to have time with Sally Grumbridge, to see her folio and her exhibition and was immensely impressed with one particular painting - the vertical painting of a glimpse of the outside world through a narrow gap in the box truck door. This, for me, having experienced this horrific journey from Singapore to Thailand as a POW, was a singularly sensitive and so well understood a translation and evocation. I felt this was a real achievement and it was only too evident from the exhibition that it could only come from considerable depth of research and understanding."

Jack Chalker, FEPOW and war artist
