Derwent Drawing Prize Finalists Exhibition

Overwhelming eve @derwentartprize private view. The gallery was bursting with talented and gorgeous souls. So great to chat to (and thank) @helenrwaters and @curtisartist two of the four judges, also the lovely @jakespicerart and the very talented @laurajacobsart. June Collier was the well deserved winner, her portrait ‘Hetty in hospital’ is profoundly moving. So good to see the work of @_laurahope and @zahrakbari_b -lovely friends who couldn’t make it but whose work shone bright.
Thanks to @galleryoxo for hosting and @parkerharrisco for organising.
So hard to get decent photos as it was so busy.

Pleased we made it as my anxiety put paid to many recent attempts to be in London. Felt good to talk about grief and my project @visual_grief_diary with people who asked.

Looking forward to my drawing demo on 13th April in the gallery and a chance for closer viewing of all the work. Just a few pics here of works in the show -more to come .
