Finalists for 2020
The latest round of awards was issued to applicants in November 2020, following the enthusiastic response to the launch of the SANE Creative Awards Scheme in 2019.
Our award-winners worked in oil or acrylic paint, but some were printmakers or photographers, while others worked in illustration or mixed media.
Many applicants came from London and the South East. We also received work from across England and Scotland.
Winter Moon by Ashley Ferrari, was a popular design for a 2020 SANE Christmas card. Another, Tree in Winter Snow by Mark Noble from 2019, featured on one our 2021 cards.

The feeling of pushing my potential with my art and that I am developing a complex experience is exciting, and reason enough to see beyond my mental illness and the ordinary problems and challenges of life.

I am very grateful and feel much more positive my artwork will be painted on the best linen – to show the best of my many dedicated hours of painting. Thank you very much.
Winter Moon
By Ashley Ferrari
I use oils and like to explore using colour and light to create feelings of peace and serenity in the viewer. I paint with the aim of soothing the viewer and creating the feelings of peace and serenity that I so crave myself.
