Flora Waycott is the Global Talent Search 2014 Special Studio Award Winner. Since winning, she has been represented by Lilla Rogers’ Agency and created art for some of the great names in the industry, worked at developing her style and trying out new techniques, exposed at Surtex and spoke at the MATS Global Art Gathering in Brighton – all that in only 8 months!
There is no doubt that representation by Lilla Rogers’ Agency was a huge step in Flora’s career and even though she didn’t make it the first time she entered the Global Talent Search back in 2013, she was right to believe in herself and give it another go!
So, what has Flora been up to since winning the GTS Special Studio Award last October? Here are only a few of the many commissions she has been working on in the past few months.
