Stella Vine is considered by some to be a ‘controversial’ artist because her portraits are of figures ranging from model Kate Moss to footballer Didier Drogba, and her Warhol-related style could be described as ‘child-like.’ Television art pundit Waldemar Januszczak described her as having “a combination of empathy and cynicism that can be startling”.
She is currently painting a portrait of the Brontë
sisters to raise much-needed funds for St Michael and All Angels Church in
Haworth, which has just a few days left to raise £27,000: English Heritage has
set 20 January as the deadline for its offer to add a further £100,000.
The church roof needed seeing to even before thieves
stripped lead from it – three times in the last eighteen months. English
Heritage gave church fundraisers a target of £65,000 and brave efforts have
been made – but there is still that £27,000 to go.
You can
buy a print made from the painting for just £150, and your advance orders are
important, for the reason mentioned above. There will be a total of one hundred
only. To order one, email your details to stellavinestudio@gmail.com or go to this website

How can you expect anyone to buy without seeing the finished painting?
