Daisy with ‘Ever-Growing’
‘A piece representing my love for Norfolk Forests and Woodland areas. Capturing the colours, textures and mystery which Nature has to offer. Expressionist mark making indicating the rapid growth and change of Forests and Woodland areas through the years.’
Daisy, 21, originally from Stamford Lincolnshire, is a third year student currently studying illustration at Norwich University Of The Arts. Daisy was one of several shortlisted artists that submitted work to the inaugural youth art competition organised by the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, the charity that runs the Norfolk Show.
Tom Cringle, Head Art Steward, said “In my opinion all the shortlisted artists are already winners, their work is superb, and I am sure they will have long and successful careers in the art world.”
The judges commented that they loved Daisy’s individual style, her bold line work and mark making. The use of negative space and light ’sky holes’, in the canopy, draw you in to intrigue you as to what may be found further into the woods. It’s a great piece of work and we look forward to seeing more of her work at the show.
Tom continues “We have introduced the Youth Art Award at the Royal Norfolk Show to boost the participation and inclusion of the youthful perspective of modern art. We feel that in the art marquee we cover many creative bases and provide a wonderful platform and arena to show East Anglian artistic talent at its best, with professional and amateurs covering many genres. However, it is also so important that as we move forwards, and beyond our 50th year, we cast our eyes towards youth art with our new arts initiative.
We hope that over the years more artists like Daisy take this opportunity and we can showcase to the public the best of regional art representing all ages.”
Best wishes to Daisy and all our visitors this year at our 50th exhibition.
