Welcome to the Awards page

I have been very fortunate to have won various awards throughout my career. 

Initially, I won 1st and 3rd prize at a local exhibition, after which, I began entering international competitions. If you are selected as a finalist, you have the privilege of having your artwork displayed with those of the other great artists at the prestigious Mall Galleries, London.


I entered the BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year competition in 2010, describing my work as follows;


'The special bond I witnessed between these tigers inspired me to draw this picture. Tigers are incredible animals: so powerful, and yet so gentle and affectionate, and watching these two interact with such tenderness made me feel humble - I love seeing them play. I hope future generations will still see these beautiful cats in the wild, and witness the precious interactions that so inspired me' 


I was absolutely overwhelmed when I won the overall competition title 'BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year 2010' and the 'Endangered Species' category

with 'Tigers at Play' winning an incredible trip to

Nepal!


'Tigers at Play' was published in the BBC Wildlife Magazine with the judges comments, as follows;


'With the tiger population in real danger of extinction, this irresistible picture immediately struck a chord with the judges. The brilliantly depicted mother Amur tiger playing with her cub seems to strike a blow at the destructive forces waged against their kind'.

endangered species category winner and overall competition winner Natalie Mascall, wildlife artist of the year, BBC, BBC Wildlife artist of the year, Natalie was named wildlife artist of the year with tigers at play, bbc wildlife artist of the year,
