The VAA Artist of the Year 2025 Award celebrates artistic excellence,  and is open to both emerging talent and established professionals, based in the UK and internationally, and is judged  by a distinguished panel of industry experts.

The Artist of the Year competition is in its current form for the second year – previously having been run as the Professional Artist Award for a more limited category of entrants.  I was delighted to have been longlisted for the PAA in 2023. Given the much greater number of entrants to the Artist of the Year Award, it’s fabulous to be longlisted in 2025.

The VAA is a leading professional body dedicated to supporting visual artists at every stage of their careers and, as the fastest-growing artist support organisation globally, it represents a thriving community of over 25,000 artists.

The body of works selected for judging are from my Harbour Collection . Three of them were highlighted by the VAA and are shown below.

It’s great to be longlisted out of the many thousands of entries. Next stage results will be announced soon.
