Connor Brown
Connor Brown, a teenager from Surrey who suffers from cerebral palsy - a disease that affects his motor skills has featured and displayed his outstanding artwork for the first time.
His A-level artwork and eye-catching photography had been showcased through the summer at an exhibition in Sussex Coast College - and it's this work that has helped him land a place to study in The University of Hastings.
Growing up in the care system, Connor has now found a place he can call home and feel motivated to live out his wildest dreams. The modest nineteen-year-old gives thanks and praise to his foster family, whose support and love has helped him succeed and believe that anything is possible.
Connor, who originally lived in Surrey, now lives with his foster family in Hastings. And it's here that he will begin his degree in fine art that will be validated by the University of Brighton. Cabinet Member, Claure Curran comments that "what he’s accomplished is inspirational and as corporate parents, we’re extremely proud.”
