My Archibald subject this year is my amazing artist friend Filippa Buttitta. We’ve just been interviewed by Maria Stoljar from ‘Talking with Painters’ podcast series Episode 109 chatting about our Archibald Prize entries. Her first ever double podcast interview coming up next week.
Stay tuned for when it drops!
It’s still sinking in that I just won the John Copes Portrait Prize at Bowral Art Gallery today. Huge congratulations to all the wonderful finalists and other prize winners! It was such a beautiful opening thanks to all the lovely Southern Highlands Community who came along and congratulated me. Big thanks to Black Parrot Art Framing who did an amazing and immaculate job with framing my work (and even delivering it to the gallery for me), what a team! And lastly, huge gratitude to judge Ben Quilty.
The John Copes Prize for Representational Art is becoming recognised as a leading are prize for representational work. It was instigated as a memorial to his father John, by Tim Copes.
The Prize attracts some of the finest representational artists throughout the state as well as other states across Australia.

Done and dusted! Delighted to have finished my 2017 Archibald portrait of Jane Caro. Thanks Jane for being so patient and allowing me to work around your very tight schedule. You are a wonderful human being and person and so worthy of being painted. I hope the judges love it just as much as you do.
