Original artwork description:

About the models - Kate is a chamber musician, a writer and presenter, and has broadcast over 200 short stories for BBC Radio 3. She is CEO of Stapleford Granary Arts Centre in South Cambridge. Kate is delighted that the shoes she bought ten years ago (worn only once) have been immortalised here in paint, thus finally justifying the purchase.

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.
