You Can Help An Island Artist Right Now (Updated)

We hope you know that the Isle of Wight has a significant share of talented artists.

Before 5pm today you can help one of them. It will only take a few brief minutes.

The ever-so-talented painter Rachael Berry, who lives in Newport, is in an online competition that could, with your help, see one of her pairings displayed in a Saatchi show in Paris.

All you need to do is to visit the competition site and vote for her.

If you’re on Facebook or Twitter, you can login using your ID. If not, there’s a very quick registration.

Once you’re presented by the painting of ‘Avi and Ed’, just click vote above it. It couldn’t be easier, could it?

Update: 17:24 21.Mar.11 We got an update from Rachael, “Thank you so much to everyone who voted!! I’m afraid I didn’t get through this time but you were all amazing :) I went up more than 80 places in an hour which is incredible and in the end only missed out by a few votes.

“Your support is such an incredible encouragement :)

“Next time I’ll be sure to do everything right. In the meantime please check out my facebook page for more pictures, news and up to date information about future exhibitions/competitions.

“Thank you all so much xX”
