I am super pleased and humbled to announce that I have just won the @bluethumbart Landscape Art Prize 2022. The panel of judges were made up of fellow artists that I look up to, including Del Kathryn Barton, Blak Douglas, Kathryn Longhurst, Loribelle Spirovski and Tamara Dean.

I've been a part of the Bluethumb family for close to 10 years. Watching them build and level up has been an amazing thing to witness. They truly put the artists first and go above and beyond; this year’s prize pool is evidence of this. They not only support artists, but they appreciate us, so its even more gratifying to receive this award. Thank you to all the judges and the dynamo team at Bluethumb! Congrats to all the other winners and finalists!

(P.S I said “flabbergasted” when I heard the news over the phone, I have never used that word in my life!)

Today marks the halfway point of the 2022 John Les

Today marks the halfway point of the 2022 John Leslie Art Prize. With just over a month left, I encourage anyone in Victoria to view this diverse collection of work. Those that can't make it in the physical, can view all the finalists online.

The exhibition concludes 27 November, as does the People's Choice voting. 😉

"It's a playful work with deeply considered formal values."
