Here is my latest portrait. It’s Evie. This commission was for a surprise Christmas present. It was my first portrait done purely from photos, (I hadn’t met Evie). Fortunately just as I was finishing the painting I was able to get a look at her when I met her Gran-mother, and so make a few last minute minor adjustments.
Here’ her parents, Jezz and Min with their new painting.
Wire Sculptures
From Monday 10th December onwards
Coast Restaurant, Sussex Coast College Hastings, Parker Road, Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 3TT
For the next few months you will be able to see 6 of my wire sculptures whilst enjoying a fabulous meal at the Coast Restaurant, where students serve customers as part of their training under professional supervision.
I’ve made another neon sculpture in collaboration with lighting designer Philip Oakley. You can see this at Richard James, Savile Row, London.
Here’s my entry for the MRC Clinical Sciences Centre drawing competition.
The MRC Clinical Sciences Centre holds an annual event to launch their publication called Suffrage Science. The idea is to promote women in science by celebrating those leading the field. Both the event and the publication are inspired by the suffrage movement. They will be interviewing leading women scientists, awarding them bespoke jewellery to honour their efforts, and writing a feature about them and their careers for our book. They need 12 drawings for that book, and decide which artist should create them with a drawing competition. Here is my entry.
Last year’s publication can be found here.
