Mitzie said:" I am honoured and delighted to have won the double award. This is one of my favourite exhibitions and I wish it every success in 2008."
Mitzie is an artist, from Berkhamsted, who will open her home to members of the public during the Hertfordshire Open Studios event from September 13 to October 5.
She will be displaying a collection of 150 pieces of her work, which includes a number of townscapes, abstract and still life works.
It will be a wonderful opportunity for visitors to learn how Mitzie creates her pieces and has developed her techniques in using texture as she will demonstrations while exhibiting.
Mitzie trained at St Albans College of Art, which is now the University of Hertfordshire, where she obtained her degree in painting and print-making in 1996.
