She said: “The woman that ran the pop-up gallery was doing an exhibition at the Houses of Parliament to celebrate the new city of Southend-on-Sea. “
The woman asked Ms Jack if she could paint some old coins for her upcoming exhibition.
She said: “I did four coins for her and she took them and said loads of people really loved them and then it just became a bit of a challenge to see what else I could fit on this really tiny space.”
Ms Jack said that inspired her to see what else she could draw in such a compact space.
She said each coin painting took her a few hours to complete.
In 2023, four of her coins were showcased at the Royal Miniature Society Annual Exhibition.
She said she had submitted five more coins in the hope they might appear at this year’s exhibition.
