“An invitation to breathe in the tender, wild stillness and vulnerable majesty of nature as Artist. I walk in the bush most days. Each day brings a new light, a different shadow. Life and drama at every stage, every step. Exposing, enfolding, decomposing, regenerating – age shapes and wears, creating texture and line. Small, intimate moments, the warm tension between beauty and decay. All these create the spark, and I photograph, sketch and use oil paint to tell these stories”.
Established in 2021, the National Emerging Art Prize was created to provide an annual, highly visible national platform to identify, promote and support the most promising emerging visual and ceramic artists in Australia.
