Who is Natasha Raskin Sharp's dad?
Philip Raskin is a renowned Scottish artist who is known for his work with landscape and seascapes, and his incredible work has featured at exhibitions and sold all over the globe. He keeps a relatively low profile, but Natasha often references his work on her social media to her Instagram and Twitter followers.
Philip, 75, was born in Glasgow and studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1960s. However, his career hasn't solely centered around art. Before becoming successful in the art world, he ran a restaurant for 20 years alongside Natasha's mum.

What has Natasha Raskin Sharp said about her dad?
Natasha has previously stated that her father is the reason why she ended up embarking on a career in auctioning. But it seems her parents have always been an inspiration for the TV presenter, with Natasha previously telling HELLO! how she initially thought she'd end up working in hospitality.
The 35-year-old said: "I thought I was going to follow in my parents' footsteps. My parents were restaurateurs for 20 years and I just assumed that I would go on to either take the helm at their restaurant or to do something in the hospitality industry myself. But when I was about 15 […] my parents decided to give up their restaurant."

It was then that Natasha began studying art in Glasgow and soon after she attended her first auction with her dad. "It hadn't occurred to me to work in the auction world," the Bargain Hunt star said.
"Had it not been for my dad, I wouldn't have known that you could do such exciting things or sell contemporary art at auction which I continue to do to this day. So I have a lot to thank him for and remember very, very clearly a genuine milestone moment," she added.
Has Natasha Raskin Sharp shared photos of her dad?
Natasha has shared a number of photos with her dad in recent months to promote his artwork, particularly his paintings which have been available for auction in aid of raising money for those affected by the conflict in Ukraine.
