SALISBURY based artist, Mary Fawcett, is this year’s recipient of the Edwin Young Trophy for her pastel on sandpaper entitled More Red Fields.
The trophy is awarded each year to a member of the Salisbury Group of Artists at its annual summer exhibition, in recognition of a work of excellence. Judging this year’s exhibition was the artist and acclaimed painting tutor, Liz Seward-Relfe, adding kudos to the exhibition, which features 43 works in a range of media.
Mary has been a member of the Salisbury Group of Artists since the late 1980s and was taught pastels by the late Christopher Assheton-Stones, a leading pastel artist, and was delighted to win the trophy for a second time: “I won the Edwin Young Trophy in 1998, but it was a thrill this time because Liz Seward-Relfe was judging.”
* You can see Mary’s painting in the Creasey Gallery at Salisbury Library until Saturday, July 31.
