The scholarship is given annually to a QEST scholar who has made the most significant contribution to their craft.
”I felt very honoured and thrilled to receive the QEST Award of Excellence especially knowing there are over 350 other QEST scholars who are equally deserving,” added Joey.
“An award like this is a reflection of the many supportive people who have influenced me.”

This, she feels, allows her to expose wood as an art form to a whole new collector base.
She is also planning a large international wood exhibition in London for 2017.
