I was so excited to be selected as one of the artists to be on Portrait Artist of the Year 2020! The whole experience was a incredible form beginning to end. The celebrity sitter for me an two other contestants was actress Lydia Leonard. She was so graceful and had a timeless, delicate manner. It was such an incredible accolade she chose my painting in the first round as the celebrity choice for her to keep.The day was a blur of activity and excitement - having only 4 hours to paint was a such a challenge, but all the contestants created fantastic works of art. I invite you to create a portrait with a little less pressure but all of the excitement!
