Palawa Man a finalist in the Tasmanian Portraiture Prize 2017 (contributing artist)

 

My mixed-media painting Palawa Man was a finalist in the 2017 Tasmanian Portraiture Prize. The work received significant attention, being featured in press coverage, exhibition booklets, and a statewide touring exhibition. It was shown in prominent venues including the Long Gallery in Salamanca, Sawtooth Gallery in Launceston, and Devonport Regional Gallery. The exhibition attracted wide media exposure, and Palawa Man was frequently highlighted and discussed. In 2023, the work was also exhibited as part of the Islander Portrait Prize on Flinders Island, further extending its recognition and reach.
