What has Flora Waycott been up to since winning the Global Talent Search 2014 Special Studio Award?

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.  All images courtesy of Flora Waycott.

Passion + talent + attention to detail = a Global Art Gathering in Brighton

The Global Art Gathering 2015 is behind us, but the magic of the event lingers on. Rose Radtke takes a look back on why the event was special for her.  Usually, when I picture Brighton, I picture home. The familiarity of my little flat, a pebble beach remaining unchanged as the seasons come and go, the route I take to work and the shops and cafes I like to mooch around at the weekend. But now I look back on one week in June 2015, and I see Brighton differently. I see it through the eyes of a group of people who arrived in a sunny, quirky seaside town on the south coast of England, eagerly anticipating exploring a new place and meeting long-distance friends in person for the first time.
