My First Commission

I was Artist of the Month at St James’s Church Piccadilly where I exhibited a 10’ x 8’ canvas called ‘Creation’ which depicted the creation of women and men, spun out of a backdrop of autumnal plants drawn in Kew Gardens. The figures were posed by dancer friends who were working with me at the Piccadilly Theatre and who got me into their ballet school The Place each day to draw. This experience enabled me to draw the moving figure, and trained me well enough that I was later asked to teach MA students drawing as part of their anatomy studies.
