Artistintheshed studio reached the finals of the Shed of the Year 2019 competition sponsored by Cuprinol and was voted by the public to win best studio/workshop.

Over 3,000 sheds were entered into the competition and you can see details and media coverage on the shed in the media page.

My shed studio is a huge painting. The front elevation is decorated with abstract symbols inspired by natural shapes such as seed heads and flowers and the side panel has been used as a canvas for a large happy tree painting.

I’m delighted to win the award as its such a fun competition that really digs deep into the quintessentially British obsession with garden sheds. My she shed studio has transformed my life giving me a dedicated space where I make my paintings. But more than that since decorating the studio every morning when I look out of the window it makes me smile and inspires me to get in there and start painting.

Huge thanks to everyone who voted, to Andrew Wilcox who works with sponsor Cuprinol to organise the competition each year and to Democracy PR in Manchester for managing an amazing PR campaign.
