Happy to announce that I've once again received the Highly Commended Award from Redline Artworks Global Awards 2020 for my social artworks. This is the second year I've received this. I'm honoured to have my art and efforts to paint social messages recognised once again. Thank you again Redline Artworks for encouraging artists globally to produce socially conscious artwork.

Details of the award are here 

Some of the artwork and the details are as below.

I ended 2019 with an art camp and exhibition in Udaipur, India from 24 - 31 December 2019.



Udaipur was pretty cold with temperatures dropping to 5 degrees.  Its literally cold indoors as well as they generally don't have heaters indoors in India. We had a welcoming and Christmas party on the 25th. 








The gallery #sanskritiartpivot is a private initiative part of the #spacejungle resort in Udaipur. 

After a week of painting and conversations, the camp ended with an exhibition of the artworks painted there and a closing ceremony. Had a wonderful time with everyone from the artists to organisers and the children who spent time with us. 





Thanks to all at sanskriti art pivot for the wonderful hospitality.
