"I was so thrilled and surprised to receive the award from Dr Gazeley. It means a huge amount in terms of being recognised for my work."

"Now the hard work really starts to maintain the momentum and continue with what has been a life-long ambition to study and become a professional artist. I'm also thinking very seriously about applying for the MA in Printmaking in the future."

"Drawing tools such as pen on paper result in permanent marks that cannot be erased, and force me to work with 'unintentional' elements. I have used the circle because it is a challenge to draw perfectly by hand. Yet imperfections are hidden through repetition within a wider composition, creating the perception of a perfect circle."

"I hope to 'interrupt' the flow of the circles by embedding another shape within the composition, thus creating a further element of confusion for the eye and mind to decipher."

"It is fantastic that Jane Bryant has been awarded the Dr Supanee Gazeley Award for Fine Art, she is a most deserving recipient. Her work, although minimal in means, is also rooted in drawing and shows how an artist can create engaging images through the most simple of processes."

"Jane is both very talented and committed to her art. Her hard work this year has paid off with a beautifully installed degree show, which impressed all the judges during the selection process. I wish her every success in the future."

"Many thanks to Supanee for enabling this important prize. The quality of the work was outstanding, and judging difficult."

"Jayne's work showed extraordinary balance and depth, control and sensitivity, and we were delighted to award the prize to such explorative work. I think it is great credit to the members of staff that each of the works was remarkably individual. This belies considerable care in tuition."
