Giorann Henshaw

At 17 years I was accepted at the Royal Worcester Porcelain in the UK on a one year foundation course. I entered the school where I was taught to paint on china and porcelain, making molds etc. On completion I was offered a place at the factory floor on the enamelling section painting dinner ware, thimbles, children’s birthday mugs and limited edition Dorothy Doughty Bird Plates. Years after I returned back to Gibraltar and I co-founded the Gibraltar Arts & Crafts Association. I then achieved a BA Honors in Fine Art and History of Art through the Open University. At present I form part of the committee for the Gibraltar Artisans Market where we promote and sell quality hand crafted artworks for the public at large. I am also a member of the Fine Arts Gallery in Gibraltar where I co exhibited an exhibition “Points of View”. I also exhibited at the Malaga Art Fair and the Cannes Film Festival on digital format. For the last four Governors of Gibraltar I have been commissioned to paint their Coats of Arms on shields that are displayed in the dining room at the official residence. In February 2018 I participated in a Contemporary Art Exhibition at the Brick Lane Gallery in London.   In 2019 I participated at the Zurich Art Box project and also in 2020 on  digital format.
