AOH Painter of the Year 2026 Antonia Thompson was applauded for her use of colour by this year’s AOH judges. Expect to be welcomed with joyful blasts of colour and texture in all shapes and sizes. Stunning sunsets, snow-kissed mountainscapes and intimate abstract florals and still-life works. Come to her Victorian red brick home, just off Hove seafront for a relaxed atmosphere. Pick up new work, archive favourites, process bargains, prints and cards, next to the not-so-diminutive Christmas tree.
