More recently she has taken on curation for well known London restaurants and hotels, putting together collections that mix contemporary work with timeless pieces.

Alinda will lead a talk introducing artists to how the art market actually works, from pricing and galleries to building relationships with collectors. If you have ever wondered what happens on the other side of the sale, this one is for you.

Meet our judge, Katherine Benson.

Katherine is Exhibition Programming Manager at Saatchi Gallery and a painter, which means she comes to judging from both sides of the wall. Working in oil at a deliberately small scale, she paints women inside the home, catching her sitters quickly and holding them somewhere between the ordinary and the mysterious. She describes the work as a love letter to women: the ones she grew up with, the artists she has admired, and the friendships that have mattered most to her. The result is a body of work that treats domestic space as somewhere women are free rather than confined, and that asks you to come close enough to notice gestures you would otherwise walk past.

She completed her Master of Fine Arts at the University of Edinburgh in 2021 and was featured in a Best of Scottish Art Schools graduate showcase that year.

Katherine will help select the 40 artists exhibiting in The Attainable Art Show from our open call.
