A resident artist who draws patients undergoing treatment at a cancer care centre has described the “unique, intimate experience” he has dedicated nearly a decade to.
Simon Tolhurst, 55, said it is a “privilege” to be the portrait artist in residence for the Haematology Cancer Care University College London Hospitals (UCLH) Charity, spending every Thursday since 2013 volunteering to create A4 drawings of its patients and gifting prints of them afterwards.
