The artwork is available to buy.<\/p>\n<p>This solo exhibition has a special place in my heart as the Surrey County Council awarded me the Surrey Art Award in 2005 for my school project on Vanishing Cultures; this award was a wonderful, unexpected, surprise, as my school entered me into the competition without my knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently working on a few original paintings of the register offices, which will then be put on permanent display. The original or print may provide a lovely memento to celebrate a wedding or birth.<\/p>\n<p>The first painting I am working on is of the wisteria enveloping the exterior of Artington House in Guildford.
