‘Passerby’, a work from my March 2015 Passerby show at Metropolis, has been selected as a finalist in the 2015 Lethbridge 10000 Award. Being a full-time artist, it’s important to have my works reach audiences in other locations and I’m very grateful to Lethbridge Gallery for selecting my painting for the exhibition in Paddington, Brisbane, from 13 to 28 June.
Just after hearing I was a finalist in the 2015 Lethbridge 10000 in Queensland, I received news that ‘Woman in the Crowd’ a painting I’d submitted for the Penola Coonawarra Arts Festival in South Australia had been awarded ‘Highly Commended’ in the 2015 John Shaw Neilson Acquisitive Art Prize. The festival ran 21 to 24 May.
I also have a work ‘Girl at the Showgrounds’ headed to Western Australia for the Cossack Art Awards 2015 exhibition, which runs 19 July to 9 August.
