First lottery draw winner

Congratulations to Ticky Tuppen the first winner of the Art at the Edge.Ticky has chosen the Paralympic Sprinting study by Charlotte Barker as her prize, she said of the sculpture; "In order for any of us to achieve our dreams we need the support of others and this sculpture for me displays the focus, energy and emotion that is involved and I find it inspirational."
Charlotte who has just graduated from Loughborough University with a first in Fine Art, and takes up a place on the MA course at the prestigious Goldsmiths College in the autumn said she was 'thrilled' that her sculpture was chosen by Ticky and it was 'a huge compliment'.
