HAMPSHIRE, UK. August 29th, 2025 – Rising abstract artist Anita Cleary has been named winner of the Brand Innovation Award 2025, just over a year after reigniting her childhood passion for painting and turning it into a rapidly growing creative brand.
Known for her bold, mixed-media artworks embedded with hidden motivational messages, Anita has built a reputation for creating pieces that inspire calmness, resilience, and self-belief. The award recognises her distinctive approach to combining abstract art with meaningful storytelling, and her ability to connect with collectors on a deeply personal level.
“This award feels surreal,” said Anita. “I started painting again at a time when I felt completely lost, searching for purpose as my children grew up and needed me less. Art became my lifeline. Now, to see my work recognised for its innovation is beyond anything I imagined.”
Anita’s journey from stay-at-home mum to award-winning artist began with a vivid memory of painting as a teenager. That flash of inspiration led her to buy a set of paints, and within months she had developed a unique artistic style and brand identity rooted in her personal motto: “Pause. Breathe. Return Stronger.”
Her artwork, designed to spread positivity and mindfulness, often features hidden affirmations chosen specifically for each client. The Brand Innovation Award celebrates her success in building a meaningful art business that resonates with audiences seeking inspiration and empowerment.
“Every piece I create carries hope and strength,” she added. “If I can transform my struggles into something beautiful, I hope my art can do the same for others.”
