Master Circle status with IAPS

I have just received a wonderful email from IAPS - The International Association of Pastel Societies, saying that I have achieved Master Circle status!

It’s such an honour to have reached this, the pinnacle of my career as a professional artist to date. To be accepted as part of this outstanding group of internationally celebrated pastel artists is truly beyond my wildest dreams. All of the years of hard work and daily practice now bearing fruit make this something to be truly proud of.

My grateful thanks to IAPS, the amazing organisation which continues to promote my beloved medium of pastel and supports all of the worldwide pastel societies and in particular president Richard McKinley for this incredible honour.

And finally, my humble thanks to all who have supported me along the way, you all know who you are!

See you in Albuquerque in 2026 to accept my medallion! ❤️
