I was thrilled to win the Christopher Parsons Award for Artistic Excellence at the TWASI Exhibition this year ( 2018 ) . Particularly as two of the judges were artistic heroes of mine - Mandy Shepherd and Pip McGarry. The award is for a series of paintings that have to fit a particular set of categories, as I am so fond of painting the Coast , it seemed natural that I chose that theme for my work.
The winning paintings were :-
Evening Tide , Ringed Plover, Surf and Sanderlings and Low Tide
