Rupert Shrive (born 1965) is an English artist who was born in West Runton.[1]

His interest in art started at the age of six, copying Uccello's Saint George and the Dragon. He attended Norwich School of Art and had a studio above the Coach and Horses in Soho for five years, where he met Francis Bacon.[2] Among his subjects was Soho Pam, a homeless beggar who peddled copies of his watercolour portrait of her.[3]
