A TALENTED young artist from a Hereford school was honoured with a top prize at a central London awards ceremony.
Tyler Mills, 14, who suffers with autism and attends Barrs Court School, won the gold award in child 2d artwork at the Unique Art Awards. He also took away the silver overall winner award on the night.
The national competition opened for entries between January and June this year and welcomed more than 300 entries for inspirational artwork across five different artistic mediums: painting, photography, 3D sculpture, digital art and music.
The competition is the brainchild of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) Trust Fund for Training of Handicapped Children in the Arts.
Tom Yendell, chairman of the board of trustees for the MFPA Trust Fund and himself a mouth and foot painting artist, commented of the win: “The calibre of entries was superb and we are thrilled at how many we received this year. We hope Tyler enjoys putting his prizes of art vouchers to good use."
