Art tutor Roger Hutchins wins competition and recognition

Roger Hutchins is an experienced professional illustrator, with an extensive portfolio, who has worked on a wide range commissioned artworks and illustrations that have featured in many publications and museum exhibitions both here in the UK, and internationally. He is one of our art tutors at Surrey Adult Learning, where he brings a wealth of talent and technical expertise to our courses. Roger currently teaches watercolour and oil painting at the Esher, Sunbury and Molesey centres.

Recently Roger, met the Mayor of Richmond, Councillor Julia Cambridge, and Petina from the Asgill House Trust, as he was the winner of the first Asgill House Trust art competition, which involved painting the house in Richmond on location. The competition was fund raising for the Mayor's nominated charity Ruils (a user-led charity supporting disabled children & adults to live independent lives.) Roger worked in watercolour for his picture, which will be displayed in the Mayor's Parlour at York House in Twickenham until May 2023.

Roger also won an art competition held by Hounslow Council during the summer entitled Politics in Art with a collaged portrait of Alan Turing OBE. This was exhibited at Meadowbank, the Hounslow Adult and Community Education centre in Cranford.
