Brockley artist short-listed for painting prize

Brockley artist Emma Cousin (creator of local art event Bread & Jam) has had a painting shortlisted for the prestigious Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize - one of the UK's most respected prizes for representational painting.

Her work will be on show show alongside 130 shortlisted paintings from across the UK at the Mall Galleries, London from 7th - 13th March.

This year saw an 82% increase in submissions to the Prize, which is run by the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers, the 5th oldest of the 110 Livery Companies in the City of London, and active since the 13th century. They pair up each year with the Lynn Foundation (supporting disabled children in the arts) to deliver this annual prize exhibition.
