Finalist in Marie Ellis OAM Prize for Drawing

“Amnesty Pine Parrots”

This work came late one night thinking about migrant pine trees, parrots and people and using the stencil sent to me by Amnesty International for their ‘be there’ campaign. Musings about what makes a person, plant or parrot be there or not.

The prize received over 220 entries from all over Australia and the judges have selected 26 finalists from a strong and diverse field of works.
