Early
life
From
an early age I have been fortunate and have won many art
competitions. When I was just 7 or 8 I won first prize for
two ceramic masks I had made at the house of our neighbor,
an exceptional artist called Mike Colpits, who made beautiful
masks.
I also won countless end of term prizes for artwork in my local
Spanish school in Ibiza. I think they got fed up with me winning
all the time.
As I grew older I entered other competitions at local fiestas,
at the age of 12 I won the first prize in a drawing competition,
the prize was a beautiful painting by a well-known Spanish artist,
Alfonso Costa.
When
I was at college I won a Lions Club trip to Italy for 1 month
as an art experience, and there I also won a painting
competition.
With all these winnings I suppose my ego has been pampered!
But it also definitely gives me the encouragement to carry on!
Now
More
recently I have won various local photography competitions
and so I decided to enter something more international and I
found the Lumix Award competition for digital photography on
the Internet. |
I
was very pleased and excited when I heard in December that I
had won the LUMIX
AWARD. I am so grateful for this wonderful
prize, a Lumix digital camera, a palmtop and a workshop with
a professional photographer, Rob Goldman, in Tuscany
this summer. I will be taking my partner, Alfredo and son, Joshua,
who appears in the photo.

This
prize feels like a reward for our efforts and it has given me
inspiration and courage.
I am very excited about the new opportunities which are being
presented to me and I hope to use them well. |
