BEST PICTURE
Watercolour is my preferred medium during the past decade. I love painting intensely layered and textured watercolours. My work generally has considerable content to achieve emotion and atmosphere. The Dales landscapes provide inspiration but I also draw further inspiration from home and abroad and from architectural, rural and marine scenes. Such is the delight of it all.

BEST NEWCOMER
Diana Liang
I took up photography in my 70s’ and I enjoy producing ‘collage photography’ which suits the creative side of me. I do not use Photoshop or Lightroom but create images from my photographs and often other materials to build contemporary prints. It is indeed an exciting challenge which I hope people will enjoy as much as I do.
