A master’s student from Penge has been recognised by the famous Design Museum in London for her award-winning work.
Artist Sophie Burrows, 29, won the V&A student illustrator of the year award for her artwork titled 'Crushing'.
Sophie studies Children’s Book Illustration at the Anglina Ruskin University and it’s the fourth year running where a student from the MA course has won the award.
Shelley Jackson, Sophie’s course leader, said: "We are all tremendously proud of Sophie.
"She has incredible drive and creativity, and we know we’ll be seeing a lot more from her soon."
Speaking of her winning work, the judges said: "Burrows tender illustrations in graphic novel format are both darkly amusing and wryly observed.
"Her shrewd use of just two colours conjures a quirky dreamlike atmosphere as well as evoking the essential loneliness of the central character."
The V&A Illustration Awards celebrate talented artists and director Tristram Hunt said the mission was to "promote creativity, ingenuity and imagination".
