Each year the Fine Art Trade Guild in the UK present awards for outstanding achievement in the art trade. Through the nomination of DeMontfort Fine Art, my sole UK distributor and representative body, I was voted Best Up & Coming Published Artist for the UK 2007 by the Guild. The UK is a new and vibrant direction for my art and it is a complete surprise (albeit a lovely one) to be recognised so soon after being introduced to the UK art market.

This award came as a great surprise to me as I have only been working with DeMontfort for a short space of time. It is of course, a real honour to receive this award but it certainly would not have come about if it were not for the untiring efforts that the DeMontfort team bestows upon all of their artists.

Congratulations also to Henderson Cisz who picked up the top award as UK Best Selling Artist for 2007. Henderson is also represented by DeMontfort Fine Art. 

I would like to say a big thank you to DeMontfort Fine Art for their belief in me as an artist. Thank you to the Fine Art Trade Guild for the award and all the work they do to promote the arts. To Daler Rowney who sponsored this award, thank you all!!!
