Portraits for NHS Heroes

By Elisa Hudson 2021
'Portraits for NHS Heroes' project set up by artist and portrait painter Tom Croft in 2020 in response to the National Lockdown and the Covid-19 pandemic. The project started in Instagram where artists and NHS key workers were paired to create portraits. I made two pencil drawings in 2020 of a GP and Nurse who work in hospitals in Kent.
