Artist of the Year 2017 Gallery
This year’s competition attracted the usual high standard of entries from SAA members and non members, and the judges enjoyed looking at your varied and impressive work – as always, competition was very tight, particularly in the most popular categories.
Below you can see all of this year’s winners, as well as everyone whose work was highly commended by the judges. To view a large image of the painting, just click on the image.
We do hope that you get as much enjoyment from viewing these as we did.
