Whoopee! I have been selected for the shortlist of The Alpine Fellowship Visual Arts Prize 2021. My painting ‘Ruins at Norba’ (above) was shortlisted, alongside around 50 other artists. The standard this year was extremely high and it is a tremendous achievement to have been selected by their panel of experienced judges. Well done me! The theme for this year was ‘Untamed, on wilderness and civilisation’. The Alpine Fellowship is are a charitable foundation that supports, commissions and showcases artists, writers, academics and playwrights at all stages of their careers. They discover emerging talent, disseminate new ideas and share thoughts about art, literature and philosophy. All of their work is built around their symposium – an annual gathering of artists, philosophers, writers and academics at which they encourage like-minded individuals to share expertise and knowledge with those from a diverse array of creative and intellectual professions. I am excited to be acknowledged by such a brilliant organisation. https://alpinefellowship.com/visual-art-prize
