Quentin Blake's Centre for Illustration Resident Artist 2018
Christy was awarded the artist in residence at Quentin Blake’s gallery, The House of Illustration in Kings Cross London, culminating in a solo show. She proposed she research the staff, the visitors and surrounding community. Within the gallery she found a high level of finely honed skills in the professionals working behind the scenes, from curators to conservators.
The Gallery was set in the most beautiful buildings in Granary Square Kings Cross. The institution was set up by Quentin Blake as a centre of excellence for illustration and Christy was the artist in residence in 2017 to 2018. The Gallery has since moved to another part of London but that part of London is still as beautiful as it was with the building still there, but used for another purpose.
