EN PLEIN AIR
COMPETITION
I was delighted to be awarded First Prize in the En Plein Air Competition held by Rye Art Gallery in 2024. The competition attracted over 100 entries, nationwide, and was sponsored by the Kowitz Family Foundation.

My winning painting, 'Low Tide, Cathedral Cave, Eigg' was painted on site on the Isle of Eigg, one of Scotland's 'Small Isles'.
