- Published
An artist from Cornwall is looking to go back-to-back by winning an art prize two years in a row.
Dianne Griffiths' painting of a Texaco garage in Newquay called 'Driving Home' won The People's Choice Award 2024 as part of the British Art Prize and featured in the Artists & Illustrators magazine.
This years entry is 'Insert Coin to Begin', which is a painting of an amusement arcade, also in Newquay.
It has made the top 50 of the SAA (Supporting All Artists) Artists of the Year 2025 - which means it's eligible for a People's Choice Award.
Members of the public can now cast their vote for the winner through the Zealous website, external.
