The International Women’s Forum UK – an organisation of eminent female leaders – is commemorating its first quarter century with a portrait exhibition at KPMG’s London office, featuring 16 of its most inspiring women.

The exhibition, which features four of IWF’s founders and first 12 Chair’s, includes portraits of champion racing driver Jean Denton, the first woman to hold a ministerial post at the Northern Ireland office; Barbara Hosking, former speechwriter for Harold Wilson; Rosalind Gilmore who was private secretary to five Cabinet Ministers; and Observer columnist Katharine Whitehorn.

The portraits, executed in oils or print, show the acute powers of observation and attention to detail instilled into the Lots Road Group of artists, who met at The Heatherley School of Fine Art in Lots Road, Chelsea – one of the few art colleges in Britain that focuses purely on portraiture, figurative painting and sculpture.
The catalogue is available online and contains the 16 portraits alongside fascinating insights into the craft of portrait painting. http://bit.ly/1bMCC2F( £17.29 +p&p )
