Sooo excited to finally spill the beans, I’m exhibiting at The National Portrait Gallery, London! I have a painting selected for this year’s HSFK Portrait Award 2026 (formerly the BP Portrait award).
It is one of the world’s most prestigious competitions for portrait painters, and to get in has been a dream of mine for many years. Since its inception, the long-standing competition has attracted over 40,000 entries from more than 100 countries and has been seen by over 6 million people. I can’t wait to see the other selected 51 works on the gallery walls!
The exhibition runs from 25th June until 7th October and will be touring after that in the UK.
This painting is called ‘Madonna and Child’ and is 100 by 90cm and I will share more information about it in later posts 😊
A huge thank you to the judges, I honestly couldn’t be happier!

A day I’ll never forget. A dream come true! To not only have two paintings selected for the @royalacademyarts Summer Exhibition but then to be filmed by @bbctheoneshow with @nicholasgrimshaw taking me to see my paintings was truly the icing on the cake! Thank you to the selection committee @sikelelaowen for choosing my paintings for her gallery, The One Show and Nick Grimshaw! You can watch the two episodes on @bbciplayer but I will also share them on Instagram soon! The exhibition opens on the 17th June and runs until 17th August. Congratulations to all the other artists selected, it really is an amazing exhibition. The first summer exhibition opened in 1796 and it has run every year since. Commiserations to those who didn’t make the final cut, I’ve been there too and know how it feels but there’s always next year! @robinson.marie it was fun sharing the grand reveal with you and congratulations on your selection of your beautiful duster painting.

Absolutely delighted to have two paintings selected for @royalinstituteofoilpainters annual exhibition @mallgalleries 26 Nov - 12 Dec 2026.
This painting is called ‘Garden of Eden’ and delves deeper into the narrative threads from across my series ‘From the Perspective of the Angels’. In this case the godlike vantage point brings an extra dimension to motifs like the apple drawn from the most famous human origin story. It captures the idea that the Garden of Eden was, at its core, also a private and intimate space for the first humans, an intimacy we seek to recreate in the intimate spaces in our homes. The bounty of the garden of eden is juxtaposed with the innocuous bodily temptations. The traditional horizon line is completely removed, collapsing the scene into a tapestry of patterns and forms that enhance the sense of a sacral geometric order. The composition is built upon a diagonal axis: the sleeping figure cuts across the canvas, the soft lines of the woman intersecting with the sharper lines of the green and white striped bedding.
The painting is 120 x 80cm.

Third Place for the Visitor’s Choice Award at the National Portrait Gallery! 🏆✨
I am absolutely thrilled and deeply grateful to share that my painting, Madonna and Child, was voted 3rd place in the Visitor Choice awards for this year’s Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Portrait Award!
To everyone who walked through the gallery doors in London, and to every single person who took the time to cast a vote online from afar, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Knowing this piece resonated with so many people means the world to me.
A massive congratulations to @frances_bell_paintings for taking the top spot with her gorgeous painting of her daughter and to @remigijus_gataveckas & @gataveckas_art for their well-deserved second place! It has been an absolute honour exhibiting alongside you all.
Next Stop: Derby! Following its run in London (the final day at the NPG is this Wednesday, 7th October), the entire exhibition is packing up and moving to @derbymuseums from 21 November 2026 until February! Having grown up in Derbyshire, this feels like a very special homecoming for my work! I hope those of you in the Midlands get a chance to go see it in person.
Thank you all for your endless support. ❤️

‘From the Perspective of the Angels’ paintings by @francesfeatherstone
Frances Featherstone’s official trading card, ‘Pillow Talk’, features in the inaugural @contemporary100 [Trading Cards] release, out now.
‘Pillow Talk’ forms part of Featherstone’s ongoing ‘From the Perspective of the Angels’ series, which depicts figures in bed from directly above. Working in oil, Featherstone uses the elevated viewpoint to flatten figures, textiles, patterns, and surrounding interiors into compositions of color and form. Across the series, these private moments of rest and solitude explore the relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit.
@francesfeatherstone’s trading card is randomly inserted throughout the release, with Foil Parallel variations and the chance to discover a signed 1-of-1.
Available in randomized 10-card packs via the link in bio.

Quiet moments can hold the greatest power 🎨✨
After exchanging a BBC career for a paintbrush, Frances Featherstone is gaining recognition for paintings that celebrate stillness. Madonna and Child was selected for the Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery, while the artist’s first book, From the Perspective of the Angels, has also been published.
