Our Diversity in Print Winners!!!

The Awards were presented on Wednesday, Congratulations to…

1st Prize – David Nixon’s Conundrum

2nd Prize – Frances Luke’s Mangrove Dream

Both of these works display a beautiful sensitivity and gentle strength. Both artists are skilled in realising the very best results. They are beautifully crafted works. One, (David’s “Conundrum”) is speaking about the duality of unification and diversity through a visual abstraction. The second work (Mangrove Dream) is a sad visual song about the terrible greed of man destroying the natural habitat – in this case, mangroves that are such an important part of our eco system. This work, as well as the other three works of Frances, show great finesse and care. The dry point medium is utilised very well.

Other works that need to be acknowledged are

Sue Paggioli’s Pauli

Glenda Orr’s The Magic Tap

Kristina Hall’s Grasshopper in Plastic Wrap

All three works are skilfully made and have great visual impact.

I was impressed with the quality of all the entries. Congratulations to all the Artists and the Royal Queensland Art Society for a well hung exhibition.
