Another professional artist - my mum
A lot of you may not know her name but you'll recognise some of her work. She was, until recently a pub sign artist. It's a very specialised field and there are only a few well known ones. Links to a few of her signs -
The Sundial > English Pub Signs | The J. Peterman Company
Astra Antique Centre - PUB SIGN WHITTINGTON CAT
She used to do a lot of work for Thwaites and Whitbread - The Stop and Rest, The Plough, The Wheatsheaf and The Heys were all hers for a long time. I think the one outside the Golden Cross still bears her name, plus the Black Dog.
