SAINSBURY’S worker Andrew Fair has come face to face with his portrait following a unique arts project.

Andrew, who works at the Monks Cross store, was one of six “York Heroes” selected by local people and painted by Wigginton artist Sue Clayton in a portrait challenge.

Sue said: “Andrew was a very popular choice, nominated for his excellent friendly customer service to all.

“He is also a tireless charity fundraiser, having amassed more than £16,000 for good causes including Macmillan Cancer Support and the Lullaby Trust.”

Sue is a finalist in the York Culture Awards which take place tonight at York Theatre Royal.
