THE SIR DENIS MAHON AWARD at the Royal Drawing School
KEZIAH PHILIPPS is the recipient of The Sir Denis Mahon Award 2023-2024.
She studied Animation at Kingston University, attaining first class honours and seizing upon a passion for printmaking, for which she received a special commendation for Expanded Animation Practice. She went on to study printmaking intensively at Grand Valley State University in Michigan for a year, and learned traditional craft skills, before her year at The Royal Drawing School.
Keziah’s work currently involves found objects and collected natural materials; she often carries prepared copper plates to draw from observation on location. The prize of £10,000 will support Keziah as she continues her artistic journey, culminating in a solo show next year.
