Renowned Sport Artist’s Inspiring Visit

Mar 26th

We welcomed the world-renowned sports artist Kelly-Anna to Ipswich Academy for a truly inspiring day.

She shared her incredible journey with our students—starting as an Ipswich girl who didn’t achieve all her GCSEs, to designing the official sticker book for the UEFA Women’s Euros 2022 and securing a deal with Nike.

Her visit left a lasting impact on our students, reigniting their artistic passion. One particularly talented student even had the amazing opportunity to be personally invited to Kelly-Anna’s studio after showcasing some of her incredible work!

A huge thank you to Kelly-Anna for such an inspiring experience. We also extend our gratitude to Sports Skills 4 Business – without Nino and his team, this wouldn’t have been possible. Finally, a big shoutout to Pavel Kricka for capturing the day so beautifully through photography.
