Some Good News too from our “RBA RISING STARS”:
Teresa Hunyadi, sculptor and winner of the Rome Scholarship 2018,
had an exhibition in the summer that was designed especially for blind
people and those with visual impairments. There is a fascinating short
video of it online https://vimeo.com/364402174
Teresa has been working part-time at Edinburgh College of Art and,
based on the exhibition and recent jobs, she is also going on a research
and training journey to North America and Australia until next summer
and says she will stay in touch with us at the RBA.
Meg Buick, painter and printmaker was the winner of the Rome Scholarship 2015.
She has since been elected as a member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers
and has recently shown her work in the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair
Habib Hajallie, was one of our original “RISING STARS” and recently had his work in

The Discerning Eye Drawing Bursary at the Mall Galleries in November, where he was awarded a Runner Up prize of £150
“The place of the inferiority complex” Newham General”
Rosalie Watkins was also one of our original “RISING STARS” artists at the
Lloyds Register Gallery and also had her work in the Discerning Eye Exhibition:
Torso Study
Owain Hunt, who received the Geoffrey Vivis Memorial Award at the RBA 2019 exhibition,
had a painting in the Wales Contemporary Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in November.
He says it was painted when he was confined to his studio with a lot of impending deadlines.
Called: “Ten day study”
Owain has been selected to become a member of the Contemporary British Portrait Painters and also
had two paintings selected for the ROI exhibition at the Mall Galleries:
Alice Boggis-Rolfe is another “RISING STAR” with a work in the ROI show at the Mall:

“I Could Never Blame Anyone But Myself”
In the Christmas Sale at Alex’s new studio, he is sharing a portion of all sales
of his work with the charity Shelter, who help those struggling with homelessness.
He has also recently donated a sculpture to the Terrence Higgins Trust for their
annual auction held at Christies.
Both lovely warm gestures from a thoughtful and caring young artist!
