You literally won’t believe the talents of Nick Harvey’s two-year-old daughter
You may have watched the fascinating TV series, Child Genius, which put a number of highly intelligent children through their paces, finally declaring 12-year-old Nisha Uggalle, from Manchester, the winner and official Child Genius 2019. However, her achievements are put somewhat in the shade by two-year-old Baskerville Harvey, from Crowborough, youngest – and some might say most elusive – child of composer Nick Harvey.
Her precocious creativity seems to have been inspired by the famous Crowborough giraffes.

Her watercolours are sublime.

She finished this a month ago. Embarrassingly, I haven’t managed to get it framed yet. pic.twitter.com/KArRBSS6x9

Her sculpting prowess is extraordinary.
My two year old, Baskerville, spent the whole of this morning making this out of clay and mosaic glass. I’m so damn proud of her. pic.twitter.com/CfZautauZz

Baskerville’s design eye extends to the garden.

Not to mention the area of theatrical costumery – for dogs.

Her impressive skills have received much rightful praise.
Amazing. From one of the ones in your garden?

She needs her own exhibition…that sort of talent needs to go further then the Twittersphere!

Unfortunately, her painting was misinterpreted as an intentional insult by TV presenter, producer and very tall man, Richard Osman.
Great, this is a comment on me being tall, yes? That is a textbook dog whistle insult from Baskerville.

Thankfully, the misunderstanding was soon corrected.
Baskerville is surprisingly tall for her age. I just spoke to her about the painting and she reassured me it was not a dig at you.
“Why would I mock someone for being tall, when, at nursery, I am pilloried by all and sundry for my height. It simply makes no sense,” she said.
