Final Paintings Signed By The Red Arrows At RAF Scampton

 
Shany Hagan is an artist from York but originally from Lincolnshire, who paints raising thousands of pounds for various charities.

She started painting in 2020 after having eye surgery and wanted to give something back after the NHS restored her vision through a miracle operation.

Her art has been recognised by lots of celebrities and Shany believes her sight being restored, enabling her to paint, has been for a reason and so uses her artistic skills to help people.

She was very honoured to be invited to the closing down ceremony at RAF Scampton as a special guest because she had done some paintings of the Red Arrows

Shany took along the two paintings for all the Red Arrows to sign and even RAF veteran John Nichol signed them.

They are now available for auction with all money going to the Military vs Cancer which is another charity she has previously supported.

The Military vs Cancer auction site is now live
