Original artwork description:

About the model - Kirsty is a Cambridge girl through and through. Born on Mill Road, she grew up on a farm just outside town. Kirsty started working at Fitzbillies in 2003 and is the person most likely to great you with a smile when you walk through the doors of Fitzbillies.

Having black coffee and macarons while sketching at Fitzbillies is how this collection was born. Wondering about the people at other tables, their laughter, coy glances and ice-tea with two straws.
Fitzbillies is quintessentially Cambridge and everyone you meet will have their own story. Whether it’s afternoon tea meeting future parents-in-law or a 20-year old memory of Chelsea buns with your grandad after school, Fitzbillies has a place in the hearts of everyone who knows it. This exhibition is about capturing the inimitable character of Fitzbillies, its patrons, its staff and its bakers. In short, these paintings are here to celebrate life at Fitzbillies.
