I'm pleased to announce that I've been selected as a finalist in this year's Sunshine Coast Art Prize 2014 along with 39 artists from around the country. (View the finalists here) My selected artwork is Adaptation #1: Little Corella, digital photography on Aluminium. 

The prize will be judged by the Director of Queensland Art Gallery, Chris Saines, and the winner will be announced at the Opening Event.

The finalist exhibition will be held at the Caloundra Regional Gallery from 27 August to 26 October, 2014 and the opening event will be held on Wednesday, 27 August from 6pm.

A couple of months ago I was invited to be the guest speaker at a West Moreton Zonta Club Dinner. Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the dinner and talking about my arts practice and my role in the arts community in Ipswich.
  
I met a fantastic group of women doing wonderful work for women and the community. I appreciate the opportunity to present my work and learn more about the Zonta organisation.

Thank you for a wonderful evening of discussion and making new connections.
