HCJS teacher's artwork selected to support Grayson Perry exhibition

Artwork created by a Hereford Cathedral Junior School teacher has been selected to feature alongside a forthcoming exhibition by eminent artist Grayson Perry at Hereford Museum and Art Gallery.

Drama teacher Mrs Heather Walker is thrilled that her three paintings of butterflies and bees have been picked to go on display as part of the community collection that will run concurrently with Turner prize winner Grayson Perry’s ‘The Vanity of Small Differences’ exhibition. The work will be on show between 9 October and 18 December. 

Perry’s exhibition will feature six large-scale tapestries, which highlight the British obsession with class and taste. 

Mrs Walker (pictured below) has over the years inspired HCJS pupils with her creative flair, through the creation of many plays, featuring original music and colourful props. She rekindled her love of painting during lockdown and shared her first creation with her form class. The response she received from her pupils and their parents was so enthusiastic that it encouraged her to continue with her hobby and produce two more pieces.
