Lethbridge 10000 Small Scale art Award - Qld

I submitted this 2007 work, one of my favourites, to the first Lethbridge 10000 Small Scale art Award and am happy it was selected. Having been exhibited several times, including the Highly Commended award in the 2007 Waverley Art Prize, Punchbowl Chrysler (30x30 oil on board) might finally find a home!

Festive Season

A short update and a quick one to say all the best for the season in 2009

• From now until mid Feb my work will be exhibited at Gold Coast City Arts Centre in the Stan + Maureen Duke Gold Coast Art Prize 2009. Looks like a great show if you're in the zone, I will be in Feb and look forward to seeing it. Nice to be in such great company, and somehow considered photogenic enough to be the invite image!

2009 Judge Andrew Frost, has selected the following artists for this years prize.

Giles ALEXANDER Nick ASHBY Monika BEHRENS Chris BENNIE, Christian FLYNN and Brent WILSON Frederic BERJOT Louise BLYTON Mostyn BRAMLEY-MOORE Kate BRISCOE Vicky BROWNE Lilly CHORNY Simon COLLINS Gabrielle COURTENAY Marcel COUSINS David CREED Joanne CURRIE NALINGU Tony DOWERS Rocco FAZZARI Paul FERMAN Jason FITZGERALD Prudence FLINT Greg FULLERTON Phillip GEORGE Anne Marie GRAHAM Paul GUNDRY Neil HADDON Lachlan HANSEN Lyndal HARGRAVE Robert HOLLINGWORTH Brian IRVING Gabrielle JONES Christopher JONES Col JORDAN Gladdy KEMARRE Sherrie KNIPE Josie KUNOTH Dinni KUNOTH KEMARRE Chris LANGLOIS LOONGKOONAN Marco LUCCIO Simon MARK Mani MATONG Jill MCFARLANE Noel McKENNA Hiromi OZAKI Aris PRABAWA Silke RAETZE Eric ROSSI Brenda RUNNEGAR Giles RYDER Sylvia SCHWENK Emily VALENTINE Emma van LEEST Bibi VIRO Lucy WARD Peggy WASSI John WEERONGA BARTO Fiona WHITE Anna WHITE Margaret WILSON Jane WOODRUFF Michael ZAVROS
