I am pleased to announce that I have been chosen to participate and exhibit as a finalist in the 2020 John Villiers Outback Art Prize from 6th March to 8th May 2020. "Committed to developing and enhancing arts and culture in Outback Queensland, the focus of this exhibition is to promote excellence and recognition through the Fine Arts field. This year there are 33 works that have been chosen from an exceptional pool of talented artists Australia-wide who have responded to the theme - Outback: A Sense Of Place." 'Today Is Only One Day' is part of my Primordial Landscape Series. This artwork captures an extended mediation on the passage of time and the natural history of earth reduced to it's most primordial substances: earth, water and air. This painting pays homage to our relationship with the land, how we come from and return to the earth. Are we part of the land or is it part of us? “If there is one song that lives in the heart of all Australians, it is Waltzing Matilda" - Waltzing Matilda Centre, Winton Queensland
