Nathalie Scott – A Talented Guildford Artist’s Work Featured in the National Portrait Gallery.
I had an wonderful outing to the National Portrait Gallery last week in the company of one of the exhibiting artists. Nathalie Scott is a Surrey based artist, many will know for her wonderful mural on a wall in Chapel Street Guildford or her marvellous series of paintings and drawings of the Faces of Guildford.
I was fortunate enough to be one of her subjects but not fortunate enough to be the one chosen for exhibiting in the National Portrait Gallery. The attached picture was entered into the Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Portrait Award 2025 and was one of only 46 selected from 1,314 entries from 61 countries.
Nathalie is also one of the judges at the inaugural Guildford Festival of the Arts which is taking place on September 25th-28th this year. It will host art exhibitions, pop-up installations, workshops, talks and an art trail taking in 16 venues across town from G-Live to the Yvonne Arnaud.
