Twice last year [2019], in July and August.

Meeting Steve, and all the other lovely people!

Tell me your story

I came to support SODEM, but also to take reference photos for a narrative portrait painting of Steve Bray, which I’m currently working on. It will hopefully be finished in August. I am hoping to enter it for the BP Portrait Award and Royal Academy Summer Exhibition next year. Both are notoriously difficult to get selected for. But this will be an unusual and possibly controversial (Brexiteers will hate it lol!) painting of a very topical subject. So I’m hopeful…🙂
