Former Pupil Acclaimed Artist Sarah Harvey Visits
Former pupil and internationally acclaimed local artist, Sarah Harvey, recently paid a visit to Chingford C of E Primary School to talk to pupils about her time at the school and her career as an artist.
Sarah attended the school in the 1990s before moving onto Davenant Foundation School. She completed her education at Chelsea School of Art and Newcastle University, graduating in 2004.
Since then she has developed a reputation as one of the country’s leading abstract artists focussing largely on oil painted portraits of herself floating in water.
Sarah was full of praise for the school and the positive memories she had of her time there and encouraged the children to pursue their dreams.
Deputy Headteacher, Ian Osborne, who taught Sarah commented,
“It’s great to see former pupils developing their talents. Sarah inspired a lot of children during her visit. Her work is truly outstanding.”
