My father entered two of paintings into the R.A. Summer Exhibition in 2019.

Out of the blue, I was successful in being chosen for the selection process, I was only 10 years old.

Completely out of the blue, both of my paintings were selected for the Summer Exhibition!

Varnishing Day 2019

The day started with a steel band in the courtyard and then we moved to the local church, St. James', Piccadilly, for the 'Service For Artists'.

We spent the day meeting other artists and looking at all the artwork in the galleries.

A friend of my parents, Bella Easton, had also got a place in the exhibition and she introduced me to the President of the Royal Academy: Christopher LeBrun.

I was also interviewed by the BBC for the BBC 2 Documentary and had a short clip in this programme.
