Tim Sedgwick’s project, ‘An Alphabet of Amazing Animals’, will create fantastic paintings for each of the alphabet letters. The paintings will then be collated to publish into a fun, colourful children’s book. “I will have an exhibition of the artworks and a book launch at the same time. This will introduce my work to others outside my hometown.”
