I was delighted to be longlisted for the VAA Professional Artist Award 2023.
The Visual Artist Association developed the VAA Professional Artist Award (to be renamed VAA Artist of the Year Awards in 2024) with working artists in mind.
Artists often struggle to gain visibility and momentum in their careers, despite their skills and dedication so the VAA Professional Artist Award supports the work of professional artists.
The competition celebrates creativity and talent at all stages and honours artists’ dedication, passion, and unique visions.
One of 60 artists from thousands of entries, I was delighted to be longlisted in my first year of applying.
Artists submit a number of works that represent their current professional practice. I submitted works including the Solitude artworks that had featured in Thompson’s Galleries in Marylebone, London, the previous summer.
