Ross-on-Wye artist, Lisa Ann Watkins, has won the Inaugural Chairman’s Award at the 2019 Association of Animal Artists Awards.

The award is designed to reward members that go the extra mile in pursuit of their artistic career, through their work with animals, supporting other artists, or through their determination and willingness to make mistakes and develop their own practice in order to improve.

The panel of judges was highly impressed by Lisa’s work ethic, her drive to help others and also to educate about the animals that she paints and draws. See the full story in this week’s edition of the Ross Gazette, or subscribe to our online edition here
