Doug Moran National Portrait Prize 2019

I can happily announce that I am now a finalist in TWO of Australia's most prestigious awards, book ending my solo show and all crammed into the space of just over a week! My painting ‘Matilda’ can be seen in the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize (Sydney) from October 30.  

My Next Exhibition, Leviathan, Opens November 2

My next exhibition, ‘Leviathan’ will be held at the wonderful Beinart Gallery on the 2^nd of November.

I’ve used biblical imagery, gothic motifs, and specific character tropes from Herman Melville’s classic novel, Moby Dick to reflect on the dichotomy of power, narcissism, and the natural world.

The series of paintings utilize hand-made sculptures and collage to create the imagery.

Come one and all – I will be there to have a chat!

Very happy that my painting Anita is a finalist for one of Australia's most prestigious art awards, the Lester Prize.  I will be flying off to Perth for the awards night on 8 November, so may see a few of you there!

It’s been a long while since I’ve written anything even remotely academic, but here it is: My first refereed article in an arts journal: ‘Instances of Anomaly,’ In ‘Double Dialogues’ no less!

My Painting ‘Techtonica’ even made the cover.

My thanks to Professor Ann McCulloch, Dr Kathryn Keeble and everyone else involved!
