NY-based Chinese artist #BoWang (b.1982) was a finalist in the 2016 #BPPortraitAward ( this is a tempera painting of his grandmother before she died).

Seattle-born painter #AleahChapin (b.1986) trained at the #NewYorkAcademyofArt & went on to win the #BPPortraitAward in London in 2012. She bravely paints women of all ages & shapes as they are not how they are manipulated in images. I love her work but they are always blocked on social media sites.

I’m beyond thrilled that my portrait of Marvin has made it to the second round of judging for The HSF Portrait Award. Honored to have even made it this far considering the incredibly talented pool of applicants.

With all the avian flu issues I thought I'd use art with masks. UK artist #HarrietWhite (b.1979) studied at #FalmouthArtCollege then #BathSpaUniversity. She twice had work included in the #BPPortraitAward & twice in the #HolburnePortraitPrize. Her work is very large scale.
