Unearthed: A Moment I Won’t Forget
I’m thrilled to share that I was named the winner of the 2025 Unearthed Art Prize by Art to Art gallery.
This national prize is all about shining a light on emerging Australian artists, and to have my work chosen as the winner is honestly a bit surreal. The calibre of the finalists this year was incredible, so just being selected felt special—but to take out the top spot is something I’ll carry with me for a long time.
The painting I entered is one that holds a lot of meaning for me. Like much of my work, it leans into colour, movement, and emotion—letting things unfold in an intuitive way. To have it recognised in this way is a reminder to keep trusting that process.
Huge thanks to the team at Art to Art for championing artists at this stage of their careers. It’s not easy putting yourself out there, especially in the early days, but moments like this make it all feel worthwhile.
You can view the full finalist exhibition [UNEARTHED], and I definitely recommend checking out the other artists involved—so much talent and originality in one place.
Thanks for being here and cheering me on.
