I'm very excited that I'm a finalist in the Black Swan Portrait Prize with my portrait of Jacki Weaver and also the Black Swan Heritage Prize with a painting of Perth that I did in wax (encaustic art).

The exhibition opens 20th September, Linton and Kaye Gallery, 137 St Georges Terrace, Perth, WA, and runs till 30th September.

Just to share some news - Last Friday I won the presidents challenge with the Australian Guild of Realist Artists for a portrait I did of Jake and Danni. It's on 2 separate canvases and a personal favourite of mine being of my kids. The gallery is at 1 Inglesby Rd, Camberwell and is in a lovely old house for anybody going out that way. The exhibition is up until the 19th May.
