CCH Prize win for Regret: Emerging Category
I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded the Centre for creative Health Art Prize, Emerging Category for my work Regret. The theme for this inaugural prize was ‘Healing’ and I had the pleasure of sharing space with an incredible line up of South Australian artists who addressed this topic with an intimate gaze. The winner of the main prize was the divine Jasmine Crisp for her portrait of Ruby and the Veterans and First responders Prize was awarded to Tina McKenzie for her work Replacement mother figures.

You can visit the exhibition and see all the works at The Light Square Gallery until October 22nd, 2021.
