Had a great night at the private viewing for the @ruthborchardprize exhibition. I was very happy that my painting was also commended by the judges. It was really nice to see the faces behind the names of the artists too. The exhibition is open from today to the public until the 18th October, If your near Kings Cross station it’s at Piano Noble, Kings Place. #ruthborchard #ruthborchardprize #selfportrait #oilportrait #londonartist #wirralartist #formerroyalmarinescommando #exhibition #chiaroscuro #britishartist #michaelsheldon (at Kings Place) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx1mV4hHzzU/?igshid=1692zxq8z4ys4

Stella is on fire! It seems nobody can get enough of her funky and vibrant contemporary paintings. To add to the list of her many accomplishments, the artist has been shortlisted for the 2017 Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize as well as the Chiara Williams Contemporary Art 2017 SOLO Award. An exhibition for the former opened yesterday at Piano Nobile, King’s Place and an exhibition of the ten finalists for the SOLO Award, including Stella, will be opening on 31 May.

The Ruth Borchard Self Portrait competition now open for applications. You can see some of last years winners including works by Maggi Hambling, Celia Paul and Brita Granstrom in our new exhibition opening at The Granary Gallery on the 23rd March. http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/universitygallery/borchardcompetition2013/?view=Standard
