Names and Faces' : The Sevenoaks Series
The Sevenoaks Series comprises separate oil paintings of prominent Sevenoaks personalities, which together add up to a portrait of the local community.  The idea is to celebrate the strong and lively independent identity of the town through images of some of its most dynamic personalities.

The first 16 paintings in the series were exhibitied under the title 'Names and Faces' : The Sevenoaks Series.  This was the inaugural show at the brand new gallery space at The Sevenoaks Chronicle offices on Sevenoaks High Street, which ran from 17th November until the end of December 2005.
The series is now being extended with larger scale portraits of Cllr Robert Piper, the Mayor of Sevenoaks; Sylvia Denton FRCN, CBE, the current President of the Royal College of Nursing; and Andrew Wells, the High Sheriff of Kent.

My portrait work is on display at the Pantiles Edge Gallery, Nevill Street, Tunbridge Wells, TN2 5TT.
