Artlovers Australia Prize 2022

 

Thrilled that 'Cafe, Xian' is a finalist in the Art Lovers Australia Art Prize 2022. This drawing was made last year as part of Faber-Castell's 'Colour4Life' promotion and is a portrait of my partner Kim enjoying iced tea and drawing at Starbucks in Xian. It was the best way to people watch and stay out of the summer heat!⁠

Voting is now open in the People's Choice Award. If you are able to, please vote for my work and go in the draw to win a $1,000 ALA Gift Voucher by clicking this link.

Once again huge thanks to Faber-Castell for supporting artists around Australia. It's so good to be able to make art using their amazing pencils.
