Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
I had the honour to draw the portrait of Sue Townsend at the Hay Literary Festival in 2012. I was the official artist in residence. When she came into the Green Room she had a Chinese poster under her arm. I got talking to her as I drew her and she explained that she had a passion for collecting posters, mostly Chinese ones if she could find them. She was wearing thick dark glasses as you can see here in the drawing. I feel I have captured her spirit of the moment with her. Her books include: The Secret Dairies of Adrian Mole, The Queen and I, The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole, Number Ten, Queen Camilla, The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole, The Queen in Hell Close, Adrian Mole The Later Years.

I have been painting and drawing for over 35 years. I have done this in eight countries. Hillary Clinton has one of my Afghanistan portraits of a woman, where I lived for three and a half years. I have two books published for the British Museum, Shakespeare & Friends which features portraits of major British writers which I did at Hay on Wye Literary Festival and the Oxford Literary Festival. The other book Afghanistan Portraits is a collection of charcoal portraits drawn across the country, many in remote villages many miles from Kabul. I was Artist in Residence at 10 Downing St from 2006-2007 while Tony Blair was Prime Minister.
