ABOUT TOBY
Toby Wiggins studied at the Royal Academy Schools. He has exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Show, BP Portrait Award, Discerning Eye, Jerwood Drawing Prize and the Holburne Portrait Prize, Bath.
Toby won the Prince of Wales Drawing Award in 2005 and 2013, the Changing Faces Prize in 2006 and the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize for figurative painting in 2009.
In 2006, after winning the BP Travel Award, he made portraits of the rural community of Wessex which were exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in 2007 and subsequently Dorset County Museum.
“With every new sitter, I try to respond afresh to the repeated challenges that portraiture offers. I hope that my work is an honest expression of the particular individual(s), a translation of what I see and what I feel”
