FINALIST x National Emerging Art Prize
I am pleased to announce that "Alchemy" has been shortlisted as a finalist in the NEAP (National Emerging Art Prize) 2022!
The announcement is a little bittersweet as I had sold this painting not long before (thinking it wouldn't get to the finals - doh!), which now means it's out of the running for the win.
Still, it's a huge achievement for me, and I'm looking forward to following up with a few opportunities that have come because of it.
If you want to read more about the painting, I've written a blog post here.
