PAWS ON THE WHARF CHALLENGE FOR ARTIST ALEX
Former Chauncy student Alex Devlin is registered as severely visually impaired with an eye condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP); a group of rare, genetic disorders that involve a breakdown and loss of cells in the retina, resulting in difficulty seeing in low light environments and a loss of peripheral vision.
Alex has also been fighting epilepsy which she sadly developed during University. Despite her visual impairment and epilepsy, Alex has earned a Master’s Degree in Fine Art from the University of Hertfordshire. Between 2021 and 2022, Alex produced 90 dog paintings in celebration of the Guide Dogs UK charity’s 90th anniversary.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, Alex was thrilled to be invited to take part in Paws on the Wharf! Paws on the Wharf is a collaboration between Guide Dogs UK (Guide Dogs for the Blind Association) and Wild in Art - bringing together a collection of vibrant larger-than-life guide dog sculptures to Canary Wharf; each individually decorated and designed by talented artists. Paws on the Wharf aims to raise awareness and vital funds to help people with sight loss live more active and independent lives.
Alex was thrilled to be invited to take part in Paws on the Wharf and spent most of December and January painting her sculpture. Alex will be sharing teasers and behind the scenes throughout March until the trail goes live from March 25th til May 17th 2024.
Details of the trail can be found via www.guidedogs.org.uk/paws-on-the-wharf/
The Guide Dogs team have also recently updated their website to include an artist bio here

Good luck Alex!
