She said:

“I regularly use Cowling and Wilcox to get pretty much all my art supplies when making my paintings, from the canvases themselves to the paint and the brushes. The online shop is just a fantastic emporium of everything you could ever need all in one place and for such amazing prices! We all know how tough it is to be a struggling artist so to find a place that does top quality materials for such affordable prices is an absolute life saver! Pretty much all the painted and drawing works you can see one my website has used some kind of product bought from Cowling and Wilcox, including pretty much all of the sculptures on my “artivism” page which show many public art sculptures I’ve been commissioned to design and paint. Such as the Wild Dolphin project from up in Aberdeen this summer, where my dolphin sculpture “an unquenched defianced to the stars” sold at auction for £22,000 and most recently my “cumulonimBUS’ for the Year of the Bus sculptures on display all over London for the winter months. I also recently exhibited at The Other Art Fair in the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, London. so hopefully putting all these amazing supplies to good use will continue with this Fantastic win! I’m forever recommending Cowling and Wilcox to fellow artist and friends so after this win, they’ll never hear the end of my praises for you! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Still can’t believe it!”
