I didn't expect to snap up top award
AN ARTIST has been recognised for her talent and contribution to the art world with a prestigious photography award.
And her award-winning piece was the inspiration for her third year degree work, which will be exhibited in Westward Ho's School Of Art And Design's Degree Show 2010.

Wedding and freelance photographer Sheila Pearce, of Keeling Street, North Somercotes, is the UK's Science And Nature Photographer Of The Year, voted by the Society Of Wedding And Portrait Photographers.
Her photograph of a comb jellyfish taken while diving in the Caribbean waters was chosen from 11,000 images submitted for the society's award.
The exhibition is part of their final-year project which will decide if they graduate.
It will take place from Tuesday, June 8, to Friday, from 10am to 4pm and on Saturday, June 12, 10am to 2pm.
The group is fundraising to aid the degree show by holding an Americana Folk Night at the Grimsby Institute's iBar on March 20 from 7.30pm.
