Irina Mappin has always enjoyed success, whether it is as a highly successful entrepreneur and business woman, as a well known publisher or as an art collector. Educated at one of the top universities in the United Kingdom, Irina is married to John Mappin and is the co-owner, with world renowned artist Ted Stourton, of Camelot Castle in Tintagel.
Irina Mappin is the founder of the Artists in Residence Programme which has given a number of young artists the chance to develop and hone their craft in an environment that is completely dedicated to art. Camelot Castle is not only home for Irina and John Mappin, but is a refuge, a retreat and fast becoming one of the most important centres for the development and nurture of the arts in the United Kingdom.
Living and working at Camelot Castle is the culmination of a life of passion, art and dedication. Artists who are chosen to live and work at Camelot Castle are given every opportunity to create in one of the most inspiring corners of the earth. Rich in myth and legend, Camelot Castle in Tintagel is the birthplace of King Arthur and the very beginning of the legend of the Round Table. Irina Mappin has ensured that artists are afforded the chance to learn and to create while being given important advice on how to become viable and self supporting.
Irina Mappin is constantly looking for new ways to give back to the arts and to encourage the development of artists in Europe. Irina is the creator and founder of the Icons of the Future programme that looks for ways to bring artists into contact with some of the best art teachers and curators in the world. Her philanthropy and patronage is well known across the United Kingdom.
Irina Mappin devotes herself to the mystical magic of her home, Camelot Castle, and spends her time actively promoting the arts across the UK. Passionate about literacy and about education and the arts, she is an outspoken advocate about the importance of education for the future. Perhaps it is her ancestral ties to the grand houses of Russia or her exposure to the arts at an early age but her love for the arts is well known and each moment of her life is spent in creating and fostering a safe haven for artists and the freedom for artists to create and learn in peace.
A noble mission for Irina Mappin who brings a touch of nobility back to Camelot Castle and the shores of Tintagel.
