In Spring 2000, as part of the Cheshire Millennium celebrations, the pupils of Hoole All Saints School, Chester voted for their favourite local adults (excluding (unfortunately) parents and teachers)- the Heroes of Hoole project and I was commissioned to produce a series of portraits of the lucky winners, which you can see here.. In addition, you can see a further gallery of our portraits here and here is the new Musician's Gallery |
