Winner of the Women in Art Prize 2025 (Abstract Art Category)

I’m absolutely delighted to share that I’ve been awarded the Women in Art Prize 2025 in the Abstract Art category for my piece Helsfell Hall 2.

Earlier this year, I was thrilled just to be selected as a Finalist, so to go on and win the category has been an incredible and humbling experience.

Now in its eighth year, the Women in Art Prize celebrates and supports emerging female artists across the UK and beyond. It’s such an inspiring platform that brings together talented women who are all exploring creativity in different and powerful ways — so to be recognised among them feels truly special.

Helsfell Hall 2 was a deeply personal work for me, exploring abstraction, memory, and atmosphere through layers of colour and texture. To see it resonate with others in this way means the world.

A huge thank you to the judges, organisers, and everyone who continues to support my practice. I’m so grateful for this recognition — and excited to see where this journey leads next.
