The lovely Colin Brinkley is one of our JumpstART students, who also took part in our Step Up project, which allowed him to collaborate alongside another artist to create and exhibit new work.
This month, Colin’s illustrations were chosen to feature on Suffolk County Council’s Christmas Card, which will be sent by the Chair and the Chief Executive of the Council to hundreds of people – what a wonderful way to showcase Colin’s characterful and colourful work!
