The photo above was taken of me with my artwork when I was 13, at the Merry Hill shopping centre. This was about a month or so after I'd won my category of Young Artist of the Year in the Merry Hill Art Award competition, where I'd managed to beat over 150 other entries following a 2 week exhibition where the public had voted for their favourites. My picture was later displayed in the shopping centre for several months.

This photo was taken of me with my painting when I was 16, at the RBSA in Birmingham, just after the judging round of the Kodak Lens art competition. The theme for the competition was 'Your World Through Your Own Eyes'. As I had only a weekend to do it and I was supposed to be revising at the time for my exams, I wasn't going to enter it. But then I changed my mind and painted two penguins sat on an iceberg watching another piece of their home float away.

Several years later I began entering art competitions, and since then I try and enter at least one every year. Below is a list of all my art achievements to date.
