I'm delighted to be selected as a finalist in this year's John Leslie Art Prize 2026, for Landscape painting.

This year the prize received 577 entries, with 49 paintings short listed. Each finalist is vying for the $30,000 acquisitive prize.

The John Leslie Art Prize will be on show at Gippsland Art Gallery, Victoria, from 5th September to 22nd November 2026.
