The AON Community Art award was created with the vision of celebrating emerging talent, by providing graduating Artists with a prestigious platform to exhibit their work within AON's newly established offices at the Leadenhall building. Students from renowned institutions including Glasgow College of Art, Manchester School of Art and Leeds College of Art were carefully shortlisted. Izzy was among the few selected, and her abstract portrait became the face of the AON Community Art Award. This accolade culminated in her artwork being auctioned at the world-renowned Christie's auction house in London, further solidifying her place within the art world.
