Storming Through the International Woolmark Prize

The mark of a truly successful artist is not producing one or two good works of art, but consistently managing to do so without affecting the quality of the work thus produced. And when an artist starts getting recognition for the efforts put behind the work, the reward is truly gratifying. It’s always a matter of great pride for an artist to have his or her work being presented alongside other competing artists and then to be named as the best among the selection of artwork. That moment of success, where art aficionados from around the world have gathered to appreciate and recognize your work is a thrilling and exhilarating experience for any artist.
