No. 78 Royal Hospital Chelsea

Counting down my finest works No. 78  is Margaret Thatcher Infirmary wing of the Royal Hospital Chelsea

In 2009 I was commissioned to produce a Donor Panel of those who contributed to the building of the new Margaret Thatcher Infirmary wing of the hospital.  Because of the scale of the piece which needed to balance a portrait of  Mrs Thatcher it soon became apparent that I would have to approach the project in a different way because skins of vellum only come in a maximum size.  I decided to do separate panels that came together in a cohesive way but yet were pieces of art in their own right. It was very well received by the Hospital.  In fact, the patron actually suggested they pay me extra for the work I of course declined because the hospital is there to look after old soldiers
