Exciting News!! FULL MEMBER: ‘Wapping Group of Artists’

Thankyou fellow Wappers for having me on broad!

I feel extremely honoured and privileged to be welcomed so warmly by this group that I have so much regard and respect for.

As one of the oldest possible running groups in the world (since 1938) with limited 25 lifetime members only, I adore what they do, their ethos, the tradition and the values they carry.

As a candidate, last year I had such an amazing time painting with these exceptionally talented bundle of artists and now look forward to be painting even more with this group that is fondly called as a ‘Wapping Family’

Congratulations are also in place for my buddy Wapper and a very talented artist Max White

who was also elected yesterday.

‘The Wapping Group of Artists’ was initially formed in 1938 but formally founded in 1946 after the World War. They meet to record the busy life of London’s docklands on both sides of the river Thames. The group paints at the venues anywhere between Henley and the Thames Estuary every Wednesday between April and September, whatever the weather. The ‘Wappers’ can be found at a chosen venue rising to the challenge and savouring the pleasures of plein-air painting. This companionable band of just 25 statutory members, all dedicated and capable painters, maintains the original group aims of fellowship and the enthusiastic recording and interpretation of London and the Thames.
