Specialist note
‘On the train in America, I started to draw this lady, she looked like something out of a Van Eyck painting... which the more I thought about actually made sense as these communities which originally came from Holland and Switzerland have intermarried in isolation the last 400 years. I realised I was looking at somebody quite special, particularly in the times we live in.’
