ACAR Art Prize

The ACAR Art Prize is awarded by Australia China Art Residency Ltd (ACAR). It is specifically designed to honour artistic excellence and to recogize artists who are outstanding advocates for Australia-China cultural exchange.

Travelling through China I was struck by vast rural vistas, not dissimilar to the views I am familiar with. 

StillLIFE tells of hay as a life-sustaining resource; coming from the land and then returning to it.  The cycle of life.

China and Australia share a respect for the natural environment. It shapes the way we live and the art we make.

Lustre: 
Australian Artists in Greece & Crete

In October 2025 a group of Australian artists travelled to Greece and Crete, following the footsteps of WW2 Australian Lustre Force troops.

 

The artwork is part of an exhibition touring to five venues, opening in Anzac Memorial, Hyde Park, Sydney 20 May 2026.

My major works were inspired by the Unknown Warrior tomb, Athens.
