Sir Mike Penning, Member of Parliament for Hemel Hempstead, visited the Old Town Hall gallery bar today to meet with Matt Hatton who is exhibiting his paintings at the gallery this week.

Matt showed Mike his art and they chatted about local issues. Matt works for Community Action Dacorum and volunteers as Station Manager at Radio Dacorum as well as presenting a regular show on Thursday mornings.

Matt’s art typically features nature scenes, trees and coastal views.

Matt’s exhibition continues for the whole of October.

Sir Mike said:

“I’ve known Matt for a good few years through his work and volunteering – to see his incredible paintings is to learn about a whole new side to him. He is an incredibly talented artist.”
