The People's Choice Award 2024
After several attempts at submitting for art competitions, if you're an artist you know exactly what I mean, I was very excited to have made the top 50 finalists of The British Art Prize!
I’m now delighted to reveal the good news that my painting won The People's Choice Award 2024. Initially it reached the top 50 finalists and people were asked to vote for their favourite painting. This Award allows the public to make their voices heard by voting for their favourite work from the competition’s impressive shortlist. The achievement of winning the People’s Choice Award is quite simply outstanding and it very much feels like a group win. I may have created the painting, but I couldn’t have done this without everyone making a connection with the painting and voting.
Exhibition: 4th - 8th December, 11am - 6pm Gallery@oxo, Oxo Tower Wharf, Barge House St, London, SE1 9PH
Private View: Thursday 5th December, 6pm - 8pm Gallery@oxo, Oxo Tower Wharf, Barge House St, London, S1 9PH
It was a treat to pop along to the garage and meet the owners. The team were really supportive of my painting and actually purchased the painting and now sell greeting cards in their shop.
It was wonderful to attend the Private View of the The British Art Prize 2024 exhibition. There was a great atmosphere, it was a great networking opportunity to meet new artists and art professionals, and of course the chance to see the other amazing 49 paintings in the flesh. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of this exhibition and very proud to have received The People’s Choice Award, which is both fantastic and humbling. I’m very glad I flew up from Newquay to attend, it was an unforgettable experience.

A big thank you to Ramsha and Stuart for pulling this together from the content I sent over. It looks amazing, I love the blues across all the pages, that works really well and the write up is just lovely.
