This portrait was selected for the BP Portrait Award Exhibition 2020 at the National Portrait Gallery, London.
This portrait is of Sharmadean Reid, the British entrepreneur who founded WAH nails, who was awarded an MBE in 2015 for services to the nail and beauty industry. Moxon wanted the position of her hands in the portrait to suggest the source of her business success, while drawing inspiration from Hans Holbein's portraits of European merchants of the 16th century.
