The 2016 accepted works to the Cambridge Studio Gallery 'Portrait Prize ' have been announced and I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that 'Beautiful', a portrait of my well, beautiful, 15 year old neighbor Emma has been accepted!! Some of the very best portrait artists in Australia have entered to vie for a coveted prize......a month long solo show at the gallery. Honoured to be a part of it all!!
Running from Wednesday 10 – Saturday 28 February 2016, it has a reputation of 'feeding' the Archibald, with two entries last year having been accepted into the top Award in the country. Truly honoured to have been accepted in 2016- and a fabulous opportunity for coloured pencils to get another looksie with the Fine Art world.
