So excited to be selected as a finalist of the Art to Art Unearthed Art Prize 2026 held here in Melbourne. I'm overwhelmed, thrilled and grateful to the Art to Art team for this wonderful opportunity to exhibit with them. I have always admired the incredible work of Art to Art Gallery owner Philippa and her team. This gallery has a pure passion for mentoring artists and welcoming art collectors to their vibrant exhibitions and fun opening nights.
I have been preparing and painting for months for this art prize, nothing comes easy as I attempted to achieve my absolute best work. There has been lots of sketches, trials and literally painting them all in my head before they hit the canvas. It has been an intense focussed period developing new ideas that work for the specific size requirements of this art prize and it has been a totally rewarding experience towards a new direction in my compositions. I can't wait to take this work to a larger scale.
This exhibition will be epic! All the finalists work will be on display alongside the opening of 'Brave' an exhibition of new works by the awesome Art to Art gallery artists.
Come along to celebrate on opening night Thurs 26th Feb 6.30-9.30pm, tickets available.
Art to Art Gallery 135 Burwood Rd, Hawthorn VIC
