AN artist said she "couldn't believe it" when the winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race UK season one, The Vivienne, shared her drawing of her on Facebook.

Loren Hand, 28, from Neston, has always had a love for art and drawing. 

Over the past 10 years, she has drifted in and out of art, and then in October last year, Loren set up her own business Loren Hand Art

Loren does commissions for any type of 'Realism' art, including, people, pets and landscapes.

She has also recently gotten into digital art, where she has drawn famous faces such as Will Smith and Snoop Dogg.

Every Thursday, Loren draws a celebrity of her choice, and calls it a 'Thursday doodle'.

Last month, Loren met Ru Paul's Drag Race star, The Vivienne, on the train to Manchester.

James Lee Williams, 30, who goes by the drag name, The Vivienne, was born in North Wales but moved to Liverpool when he was 16, and often talks about how he is "proud" to be scouse.

The Vivienne also recently finished in third place on this year's series Dancing On Ice.

Speaking to the Globe, Loren said: "I saw The Vivienne, as James, on the train and I just thought I'd love to draw him because I watch the show and I love it.

"I messaged him on Instagram asking if I could draw him and he replied and said he wanted to be drawn as The Vivienne, so we picked a picture and I drew it."

Loren spent a couple of hours a day for three days completing the portrait and when she posted it on Facebook, The Vivienne shared it on her profile.

The post currently is sitting on over 2,000 likes from members of the public.

"I cried to be honest. My work has never had that many people liking it before because it's hard to get it out there", Loren added.

"He's so down to earth and he kept replying to me, I just couldn't believe it."
