Women Sweep Scottish Painting Awards

“Four female artists swept the board last night in the inaugural awards established by John Lowrie Morrison, the artist known as Jolomo, to encourage traditional painting. Anna King, a 23-year-old painter based in the Borders, received top prize and a cheque for £20,000 for a portfolio of work described as the ‘anti-Turner Prize.’ Fellow artists Helen Glassford, Rebecca Firth and Ingrid Fraser also won prizes in the Jolomo Lloyds TSB Scotland Awards.
